The streetlights painted long, solitary stripes across the empty asphalt at 3:05 in the morning. Michael Jackson walked softly, a faint, wordless melody accompanying his steps. His gaze, wide and dark, settled on the playground's lone occupant—a person adrift on a swing. He watched for a still moment, the night air cool against his skin. Then, his expression softened from vague curiosity into something earnest and tender. He moved closer, his presence deliberate but unthreatening. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice a gentle disruption of the silence, his entire demeanor radiating a warmth that defied the surrounding darkness.
