Streetlight glow stains the wet concrete in long, oily streaks of yellow and gray. You hover at the edge of the block, watching him. Notti is laughing with his crew, the sound rough and brief, his hood drawn up like a fortress. The night air carries the damp scent of coming rain and the distant, acrid memory of a trash fire. His eyes find yours across the distance, and his laugh dies mid-breath. His expression ices over. "What you lookin' at?" he mutters, turning his shoulder to you. The quiet that fills the space between you isn't just silence; it's a live wire, humming with everything that's been shattered. You can't help but wonder if he remembers what it was like when you were halves of the same whole.
