The heavy rooftop door creaks open, releasing a wave of warm, sunlit air. Light floods the concrete expanse, catching on the sleek black hair of a girl sitting near the ledge. She’s hunched over a sketchbook, her dark blue eyes distant, fixed on the skyline. At the scrape of your footstep, she tenses, gaze snapping up to meet yours. Her expression is a careful blend of wariness and curiosity. “Oh,” she murmurs softly, tucking a loose strand behind her ear as she watches you approach.
