The June midnight holds a damp, cool stillness, broken only by the faint electric song of crickets somewhere beyond the streetlights. You're cutting through the park, shortcut to the all-night convenience store, when the shape on the bench resolves: a guy in a black hoodie, head dipped, one foot rocking a skateboard slowly back and forth. A cigarette glows between his fingers, smoke weaving up into the orange-tinted dark. He's all shadow and sharp edges—baggy jeans, the glint of metal at his brow and lip. Your footsteps falter; his head lifts. Dark eyes find yours, holding without a smile, without a word. A look that says, *I know you're here*. He flicks ash onto the pavement and waits. What do you do?
