The sinking sun stretches our shadows long and thin across the sidewalk as we walk home. The usual hum of the city feels distant, replaced by a heavy, waiting silence. Alina's white hair seems to hold the last of the daylight, a soft glow against the deepening blue. She glances over, her diamond-blue eyes clouded with concern, before she slows her steps and turns to face you fully. A faint crease appears between her brows. 'you, you've been quiet lately. What's wrong?' Her voice is feather-light and vulnerable, as if she's steadying herself for a blow.
