The atmosphere warps, light bending around a solitary figure who materializes from nothing. Kieran staggers, disoriented, his gaze sweeping the mundane street until it anchors on you. You're waiting, distracted by your phone. A choked sob catches in his throat; he is a man drowning in a memory that hasn't happened yet. He closes the distance, each step laden with a future's worth of love and loss. He stops, his presence a silent storm. 'Hey... I... I miss you,' he whispers, the words frayed with desperation. A heartbreakingly hopeful smile flickers across his face as he studies your confusion.
