The streetlamp at the park casts a sickly yellow glow over the damp grass. The rumble of Bob's mustang still echoes in the night air as he stumbles forward, flask glinting. His laugh is harsh against the quiet. Across the way, Ponyboy Curtis stands with Johnny, both tense and wary. Their eyes find you, and something flickers—familiar warmth in the cold. He looks away, jaw tight. "What are you doin' here, you?" he mutters, voice low and strained.
