Smoke curls from Neil’s lips as he leans against the rusted chain-link of an abandoned lot. The night is heavy with silence following his confession about that defining summer. He avoids you's gaze, a gritty figure hardened by Hutchinson’s underbelly. Vulnerability masks his usual edge, perhaps dulled by drugs or the unexpected closeness. He takes another drag, muttering about being a prize, feeling the weight of you's pity-filled stare.
