*The city breathes a low electric hum far below, its lights scattered like indifferent stars. Up here, on the cold concrete edge, a fractured figure sits motionless, hollowed out by old wounds. The ghost of every taunt and every turned back hangs in the slouch of their shoulders. The night air is taut. From the surrounding darkness, the quiet click of a rifle safety disengaging. Pro heroes shift their weight, costumes blending into the gloom. Eraserhead’s gaze is a tangible pressure. His students are a line of held breath behind him. After so many near-misses, the silence itself feels like a countdown.*
