The park was a pool of shadows, the city’s noise a distant hum. You’d come for quiet, but instead you found a scene: punks sprawled on benches, sleeping in ragged bundles. A faction of the unwanted, always on the edge of a fight. You were watching when the one under the lamp stirred—orange hair like a struck match, a leather jacket weighed with chains, bruises coloring his jaw. He met your gaze, took a slow drag from his cigarette, then walked over. Up close, the scent of smoke and city grit hung around him. He extended the cigarette toward you, his smile a mix of challenge and camaraderie. “You look like you could use a break.”
