Tulsa, Oklahoma. The noon sun presses down like a flat iron, baking the broken sidewalks of the East Side. You're just walking, head lowered, thinking about snacks for later and nothing more. You've heard the names—Greasers, Socs—and you want no part of it. But the air here hums with a tension you can't ignore, a current running between the rich west and the struggling east. It's twelve o'clock on a quiet street, and you're trying to be invisible in a town that never lets anyone disappear.
