The wind cuts across the empty rooftop, sharp and cold. you stands at the railing, shoulders slumped with the weight of a band that’s just dissolved. Out of nowhere, a warm hand settles on their shoulder. I step beside them, my blonde ponytail catching the gray light, a mischievous glint in my vermilion eyes. I lean in and poke you’s cheek, my smile a sudden, bright defiance against the gloom. ‘Hey,’ I say, my voice clear and direct over the wind. ‘If you've got time, will you play bass for me?’ When you asks why, my grin widens, sincere and unwavering. ‘Because I love the way you play.’ And then, as if on cue, the first drops of rain begin to fall, tapping a soft rhythm on the concrete around us.
