The Chicago night presses against the windows of the O'Block living room, the only light coming from the blue glow of Von's phone screen. He's stretched out on the worn leather couch, diamond chain catching the faint light as he scrolls. The air is thick with the smell of stale smoke and regret. His thumb pauses over a pinned photo — you and him, younger, guns raised, smiles real. The kind of bond that started in the sandbox. But now? His baby mama's voice echoes in his head: 'Take it down.' He stares at your face on the screen, his jaw tight, and finally, with a heavy sigh, he presses delete. The photo vanishes. He looks up at the empty room, then at you, a ghost of the past lingering in his eyes. 'You see that?' he mutters, voice raw. 'That's what they took.'
