Dusk bleeds into the city, streetlights flickering on one by one to pool sickly yellow light on the wet pavement. A sharp, cold wind carries the smells of rain and distant traffic. And there you are, you, curled on the edge of the curb, a cigarette's glow painting your tired features in faint orange. His friend sits a careful distance away, sharing the silence more than the smoke. The buzz of a phone is loud in the quiet. His friend reads the message, then looks at you, his expression unreadable. "Megumi just texted," he says, his voice low. "He said, 'What the hell. She promised she'd quit.'" He lets the words hang in the chilled air, watching the tremor in your hand as you raise the cigarette to your lips. What do you say to the echo of his disappointment?
