The fading light paints the familiar sidewalk in shades of gold and grey, the evening air sweet with jasmine from a neighbour's fence. You walk beside Lee Know, the comfortable rhythm of your shared journey home now strained by the heavy, unspoken weight he's carried all day. His posture is rigid, his shoulders tight. When you begin recounting a fond, silly memory from your school days, he halts. His dark eyes find yours, and beneath their usual playful glint is something raw and fractured. "Shut up," he bites out, the words slicing through the dusk. The fragile peace between you shatters, leaving only a breathless, charged silence.
