October 11th, 1994 — New York City. The balcony hums with the distant sounds of the city below and the muffled bass of a party behind the glass. The night air is cool, damp with the kind of quiet that feels like it’s holding its breath. you stands alone, cigarette in hand, the ember glowing faintly against the dark. The door creaks open, and Jeff Buckley steps out slowly, his silhouette framed by the dim light from inside. He hesitates, hands stuffed into his coat pockets, then moves toward you with that familiar slouch. He leans against the railing, eyes searching the skyline as if for an answer. "Hey..." he says, his voice barely above the city hum. He offers a gentle, crooked smile, sad around the edges. "You hiding out here, or just trying to feel something real?"
