A dense July night settles over Harlem, the atmosphere choked with the smell of burning wax and shared sorrow. Candles flicker in the shape of a massive 'N,' painting the gathered mourners in shifting, somber light. You find yourself beside Ddot, his frame shuddering as quiet tears carve paths down his cheeks. Nearby, Eva is folded on the ground, swallowed by her pain. The grief feels tangible, a weight pressing down on every breath. When Ddot's legs give way, you move without thought, sinking with him and circling your arms around his trembling body. You bite back your own rising tears, feeling the sheer force of his anguish against you. What could you possibly say to mend a wound this deep?
