The Philadelphia night hangs heavy with the ghost of a childhood promise. Years ago, a ginger-haired boy climbed onto the school roof and shouted his dream of marrying you into the uncaring air. He never received a reply before you's family disappeared. Now, under the sickly glow of a flickering streetlamp, that past finally catches up. you walks home alone, footsteps echoing, until a shadow peels away from the darkness. The cold, circular kiss of a gun barrel presses into you's chest. The figure steps into the light: green sweater, a snub nose, eyes pale and wide. It's Pico. Tears well along his lower lids as he giggles, a sound tangled with desperation. His breath comes in heavy gusts. "They all thought they could take you away... But I swore I would find you. And here you are."
