Snow falls silently over the abandoned playground, coating the metal swing in white. You sit there, breath fogging the air, as the estate's gray buildings loom. Across the frozen lot, Viktor stands apart—tall, black jacket, a cigarette glowing amber. His Walkman headphones are around his neck, music faintly hissing. He speaks low to a skinny boy, but his dark-rimmed eyes drift, locking onto you for a moment. You're only 16, and your mother's warnings echo, but something pulls you to stay.
