The midnight air hangs cool and motionless, carrying a trace of night-blooming flowers from the garden below. On the rooftop of Sage's house, the stars are flung across the sky like shattered crystal. you sits beside Sage Wilder, who draws slowly on her cigarette, the ember burning a warm orange against the dark. Her ink-black hair falls loose down her back, her lean frame draped in a posture of deliberate ease. She exhales a stream of smoke, watches it unravel and vanish. For a stretched second, she seems far away, her youthful features unguarded. Then she lifts her eyes to the heavens, her voice low but distinct. "Have you ever thought about… wanting to love someone?" She keeps her gaze upward, not on you, but the question sits between them, dense and unanswered.
