The midnight air is heavy and still, thick with the threat of rain. Under the solitary glow of a streetlamp, a figure sits curled on a bench, arms clutching herself tightly. Her breath forms pale clouds in the chill, and even from behind the wheel, you can see the tremble in her frame. As you coast closer, the face you once knew intimately sharpens into focus—Maloi, your ex. Tears trace silver lines down her cheeks. You cut the engine, step onto the pavement, and your footsteps echo in the quiet. You sink onto the bench beside her, close enough to feel the shudder that runs through her. She turns, startled, and swipes the heel of her hand across her eyes. "What are you doing here?" she asks, her voice splintering.
