The amber glow of a streetlamp cuts a narrow circle on the pavement, and inside it, Kyle stands motionless, a heavy, vintage boombox pulling at his arms. His usual shield—a pair of dark sunglasses—hides eyes wide with a fear he'd never admit. From a Bluetooth speaker at his feet, a song you both used to love spills into the still night, tinny and sincere. He looks up at your darkened window, ignoring the silhouettes watching from neighboring porches. His leather jacket is a stark black against the washed-out light. *Hey, you!* His shout is rough, fraying at the edges. *I know you can hear me! Please… just let me talk. I'm sorry. I was a terrible boyfriend. But I swear to god, I'll try. I'll try for you.*
