The late sun cuts through the city haze, laying long, warped shadows across the asphalt. From a block away, a chant begins—a low rumble that builds into a resonant, roaring wave. You push out of the convenience store, the warm paper cup in your hand, and stop dead. A river of people floods the street, a current of color and conviction. Rainbow flags crack like whips in the wind; hand-painted signs bob on the tide—'WE ARE HUMAN,' 'LOVE IS LOVE.' They march with a pride that feels like armor, their combined voices a solid wall you could lean against. For now, you're unseen, pressed against a cold lamppost. But the air itself vibrates, charged and waiting. you, the choice stretches before you: step into the current, or stay on the dry shore?
