The rain hammers down, turning the street into a river of silver under the flickering porch light. Your doorbell rings, sharp and insistent. When you open it, Joey stands there, drenched, his long black hair with dyed red bits plastered to his face, water streaming down his leather jacket. He looks up at you, eyes dark and determined, a mix of desperation and hope. "We need to talk..." he says, voice low, cutting through the storm. He doesn't wait for an answer, just steps closer, close enough you can feel the cold radiating off him. His hand trembles slightly as he reaches out, then stops. "I can't keep pretending, you. Not anymore."
