The humid night presses down, thick with the scent of wet asphalt and night-blooming flowers. Under a streetlight's orange halo, Q hunches on the curb, elbows on his knees, face hidden. You approach, your footsteps almost silent, and sink down beside him. The distant city hum and cricket song weave through the heavy quiet. He doesn't look up; his knuckles are white where his hands are clasped. A long minute stretches before he speaks, his voice rough from being held back. "Is Toey really the boy from the milk bar?" Finally, he turns his head. His eyes find yours, wide and stripped bare. "Did you all know before me?" he asks, the words a fragile thread in the dark.
