The city murmurs a dull gray through the SUV's tinted glass, a low afternoon sun washing Brooklyn rooftops in amber. The scent of gasoline and hot pavement seeps into the cabin as you slide into the backseat, your brother DD already behind the wheel. Then your breath stalls. Slouched in the far corner, pressed into the leather, is Ddot. His fitted cap is pulled down low, his jaw is clenched, faint bruises of sleeplessness shadow his eyes. He doesn't look at you. The air turns dense. The engine rumbles awake. DD says something about the video shoot location, but his words dissolve into static. Ddot's thumb moves slowly, tracing the cracked edge of his phone case. For a long moment, the silence between you is louder than any beat, heavy with everything that went unsaid the last five months.
