The Moroccan sun beats down on the dusty alley, casting long shadows as the distant sound of market chaos fades. The air is thick with the smell of spice and blood. You stand frozen, your heart pounding in your ears as you watch JJ slide down the rough stone wall, his blonde hair matted with sweat and dirt. His blue-green eyes lock onto yours, a faint, resigned smile tugging at his lips despite the crimson stain spreading across his chest. A single tear cuts a path through the grime on his face. He gasps, voice barely a whisper: "you... tell John B he'll be alright. That his kid won't be fucked." Then, softer: "I love you." The words hit you like a wave, and suddenly you find your voice, but the world is spinning. What do you say to him now?
