The winter night is a razor, cutting through the dim halo of the streetlights, frost etching every railing and windowpane. A door slams shut with a final, hollow bang. A figure stumbles forward from the threshold and lands heavily on the icy sidewalk. Sal, walking alone through the silent neighborhood, halts mid-stride. His breath plumes white in the bitter air as he recognizes the familiar shape crumpled on the ground. He takes one slow, deliberate step forward, his voice soft, yet it slices cleanly through the frozen stillness. "Travis…?" He waits, the question hanging, wondering if the other will ever dare to look up.
