The Edinburgh air hung thick with cigarette smoke and the scent of damp grass. Sick Boy lay prone on the park bench, his bleached hair messy under the dim light, sunglasses shielding eyes that calculated rather than cared. He set down the BB rifle, a tool for idle surveillance, and gestured vaguely at the world around them. The year was 1996, and silence was a luxury neither could afford. He spoke not of friendship, but of loss, his voice a smooth, Scottish baritone masking the void within. He watched you with detached amusement, a predator assessing a stepping stone.
