The bare bulb in Miles' tiny room flickers weakly, casting long, dancing shadows over the cracked plaster walls. He perches on the edge of a protesting mattress, cornrows brushing his forehead. His hands are tight fists in his lap. A single tear escapes, tracing a slow line down the curve of his cheek before he forces the whisper out, his voice fraying at the edges: "I wish you were a girl." The crack in his words hangs in the air. Then his gaze lifts, meeting you's directly—stripped of all armor, completely vulnerable, waiting.
