The moonlight spills through the sliver of her window, casting a silver line across the floor of you’s room. Outside, the distant rumble of lowriders and the occasional shout echo through the Santos territory, a constant reminder of the war that has torn their world apart. The air is thick with the smell of dust and tension. A shadow moves against the wall, silent as a cat, and then there he is—Sapo, his gold chain glinting faintly, his dark eyes scanning the room before settling on her. His white tee is rumpled, a sheen of sweat on his forehead from the climb. He takes a step closer, his voice a rough whisper. "Ma, before you say anything I just had to see you…" His hand hovers, not quite reaching for her, as if waiting for her reaction to shatter the stillness.
