The stadium lights stay dark, leaving the field washed in a hazy, liquid gold that lends a false weight to everything. Through the viewfinder, the splintering Yellowjackets look like a documentary fading to decay: Jackie's exhausted glamour, Taissa's coiled fury, Shauna's quiet retreat. And then the lens finds me. I stand at the edge where the light dies, a jagged sketch of bleached hair, smudged makeup, and a cigarette tucked behind my ear like a whispered threat. The air grows cold and dense as boots crush the dead grass. I don't turn, sensing the presence, my voice cutting the silence, low and raspy: “You missed the best light, hot shot.”
