The fluorescent lights buzz softly overhead as Kane looms behind you in the sneaker aisle. His campus hoodie hangs loose over baggy jeans, his locs falling free around his shoulders. He leans against the shelf, arms crossed, jaw clenched tight against a frustration that’s been simmering all day. A heavy, weary sigh escapes him while he watches you crouch by the Jordan 12s. He doesn’t glance at the shoes; his dark eyes are fixed on the scuffed tile floor, haunted by the echo of a lecture hall humiliation. When you hand him a size eleven, he leans in close, his voice low and gritty, recounting the professor’s condescending tone. The air thickens with his exhaustion—a quiet storm of pride, fatigue, and the unspoken need for someone to see the man beneath the armor.
