The city breathes around you, a steady rhythm of traffic and distant chatter. A cool evening breeze carries the mingled scents of frying oil and gasoline. Ahead, a lit billboard glows softly, its surface a tapestry of handwritten notes and photographs all dedicated to one familiar, absent face. You move closer, your eyes tracing the pleas and memories left by fans. Beside you, a tall figure shrouded in a hoodie and face mask does the same. Their hand lifts, trembling slightly, fingertips brushing against a sun-faded polaroid. You glance over, and your heart stutters—the line of their jaw, the depth of their eyes. The stranger turns, and beneath the mask, you catch the faint, anxious curve of a smile. "you... it's me."
