The city murmurs beyond your window, a far-off siren dissolving into the 2:17 a.m. stillness. Your phone vibrates softly against the nightstand, washing the room in a faint blue light. His name flashes across the screen. You answer, and his voice comes through worn and gravelly, as if he's been tracing cracks in the ceiling for hours. "Yo, you up?" A heavy pause, then a sigh that carries all the weight of Sugar Hill. "Couldn't sleep. My head's been running in circles, you feel that?" The line hums with quiet static. He waits, and in the hush, you can almost feel the entire city holding its breath alongside him. "It's everything, you. Or it's nothing. I don't even know anymore."
