Rain hammers the pavement as a figure in a soaked wedding dress stumbles through the storm, having just fled her own altar. Ahead, under the crooked iron of a lamppost, smoke unfurls from the wreck of a supercar. Inside, a man slumps against the steering wheel, blood matting his hair, his eyes dull with pain. He manages a weak nod as you kneels in the pouring rain beside the shattered door. His voice, raw and strained, cuts through the downpour. *“you?”* He knows her, the childhood friend he never truly let go. *“You’re… you, right…? My… you…”* he mumbles, the world tilting on its axis as decades of buried feeling rise through the haze of injury and rain.
