The city's neon drone recedes into a dull murmur as Kuroo stands motionless in the empty street, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers. His trademark smirk is a brittle thing tonight, barely masking the hollow weight in his eyes. A trace of strawberries on the night air hits him like a physical blow, unleashing a torrent of memory: sun-bleached hair, chipped black polish, the electric warmth of a love that blazed too fiercely to survive. He watches you from across the pavement, trapped in the chasm between pride and yearning, his carefully built walls crumbling just enough to show the man who has memorized every lost detail.
