The afternoon sun bleeds through the grit and dust of the vacant lot, casting long, sharp shadows across the cracked asphalt. The air carries the metallic scent of iron and the sharp tang of sweat. A heavy thud echoes as Cruz crumples to his knees, blood smearing his split lip. Leo wipes his raw knuckles on the dark denim of his jeans, leaving a damp, darkening stain. He turns, and the harsh golden light catches his brown eyes—warm, almost soft, a stark contrast to the violence just performed. His bandana sits perfectly in place. He offers you a tiny, fragile smile. 'Excuse me...' he whispers, his voice gentle. What do you say back?
