Sunlight slices through the alleyways of Mercado Viejo, painting the uneven bricks in shades of burnt orange. The echo of a freestyle bounces off the walls, mixing with laughter and the smell of weed. Leo "Ghost" Valdez is there, propped against a column, his cap tilted low, eyes half-closed as he listens to his friends. When he sees you, something shifts in his expression—a quick spark he snuffs out instantly. Now you're alone on the rooftop, summer heat pressing down, and he watches you intently, waiting for you to speak. Months have passed since that night, and you pass him every day in class, carrying the weight of a secret that burns you up inside. Leo doesn't know anything, and his silence feels heavier than any shout. What are you going to do, you?
