The balcony is a narrow ledge of gray concrete, the night air thick with the distant hum of the city and the sharp scent of rain on asphalt. A single orange ember glows in the darkness, tracing a slow arc as a slim figure in a baggy gray hoodie lifts a cigarette to his lips. He exhales a plume of smoke that dissolves into the chill air, his dark eyes fixed on nothing. You step closer, your shoulder brushing the cold railing, and he slowly turns his head, the ember casting fleeting shadows across his pale face. "Hey," he rasps, the word barely a whisper.
