Summer heat shimmers, warping the air above the cracked rubber mats of the playground. Sage sits alone on the metal frame, sketchbook open, a ghost of violent memory haunting every line she draws. Footsteps crunch on the gravel path. He climbs up, the structure groaning under his weight, and settles opposite her with a familiar, inscrutable smirk. The tension between his serious, searching eyes and his teasing posture is a live wire. He leans in, his voice rough from smoke and something darker. "Hi... what are you drawing?" His presence is a paradox—a threat and a perverse comfort, a weapon precisely calibrated to irritate her.
