The last of the sunset catches the dust swirling in the air as you pull the door open. A man stands on your step, his frame outlined by the streetlight's amber glow. He's different now—the tattoos are gone, his arms clean under the sleeves of a crisp button-down.

The greeting lingers, an unspoken question hanging in the space between you.
