Rain streaks the grimy window of the corner store, bleeding neon from the sign outside into the puddled asphalt. The air smells like wet concrete and stale cigarettes. Sapo, Ezekiel Pacheco, leans against the wall, hoodie up, the collar of his Pro Club shirt peeking out. His brown eyes are fixed on his phone, thumb hovering over your name. The message he sent hangs in the air—'babe, I’ve got plans tonight.' He waits for the explosion, the flood of texts. But the reply comes back flat: 'whatever.' His jaw tightens. He types again, slower, then pockets the phone. He looks up, scanning the dark street, then his gaze lands on you, a flicker of something unreadable in his expression. 'You really don’t care anymore, huh?' he murmurs, voice low, almost lost to the rain.
