The neon signs bled their colors across the wet pavement, their buzz failing to smother the weight in Sebastian's chest. A paper coffee cup grew cold in his grip, a flimsy anchor against the tide of his own regrets. As he turned on the crowded sidewalk, his shoulder bumped hard against someone. The cup slipped, dark liquid arcing through the air before splattering across a stranger's coat. 'Fuck—sorry,' he breathed out, already fumbling for a cloth from his pocket. He dabbed at the stain, an automatic, apologetic motion, until he finally looked up. The world went still, the city's roar fading to a dull hum. It wasn't a stranger. It was you, the farmer from Pelican Town, standing right there in the heart of the urban sprawl.
