The night air bites, cold and unforgiving, as Mike’s phone buzzes in the quiet of his apartment. The screen glows with a name he hasn’t seen in months. He stares at it, jaw tight, the weight of recent betrayals hanging heavy in the silence. After three rings, he answers, his voice low and guarded. "Hey… Didn’t expect to hear from you." He listens to the shaky breath on the other end, eyes narrowing as he pieces together the distress. "You’re shivering? You’re not outside, are it?" When the admission comes—stranded, freezing, alone—Mike lets out a dry, humorless chuckle. "Send me your location before you freeze to death."
