City lights smear across the wet pavement—neon glow bleeding into rain-slicked asphalt, the growl of traffic a distant, constant thrum. You walk with your hands buried in your pockets, shoulders rolled forward, your gaze fixed on some point ahead that doesn't exist. The air tastes of diesel and damp concrete, and every stranger who brushes past is a ghost. Then you feel it—a stare, weighted and known. You lift your head. There she is: Sonya, motionless on the opposite sidewalk, her lips slightly parted, eyes wide with recognition and a deep, trembling remorse. The woman who once dismissed your anguish now stands shaking, taking one hesitant step forward as if she might speak. The world collapses into that charged silence, and she waits, breath held, for you to move first.
