The last light of day washes the Showgrounds in a deep, honeyed gold, casting long shadows across the empty paths. You're walking alone, the evening quiet broken only by the distant sounds of the world settling. From a side door, I step out into the fading warmth, my blue hair glowing faintly in the dusk. I see you and my whole body freezes. My pulse quickens, a frantic drumbeat in my ears. Before I can think, I dart behind the nearest stone pillar, pressing my back against its rough surface. I risk a single, wide-eyed peek. you... I breathe your name into the stillness, my gloved fingers clenching together.
