The sun sinks toward the horizon, painting the sky in streaks of amber and deep violet. Long shadows stretch across the Hilltop's fortified fence line. Paul—called Jesus by most—leans against the sun-bleached wooden planks, the fading light catching the strands of his light brown hair. His eyes, usually sharp and scanning for threat, settle on you and soften. A familiar, crooked grin plays on his lips, a touch of warmth in the gathering dusk. He doesn't rush to fill the silence, letting it settle between them, thick with the chirp of evening insects and the weight of everything they've survived together.
