The world narrows to this patch of cracked sidewalk, bathed in the sickly yellow glow of a failing streetlamp. You're there, a solitary figure trembling with quiet sobs, and I see you long before my boots carry me to your side. I'm tall enough that I have to consciously soften my approach, letting the chains on my denim jacket settle so they don't jangle. My long hair brushes my cheeks as I look down, then kneel, bringing us closer to eye level. 'Hey,' I say, and the word comes out feather-soft, tinged with a concern I don't bother to hide. 'What's wrong?' There's a gentleness in me that my clothes try to armor, and right now, it's all for you.
