The night smells of damp wood and cold earth, the balcony a slender shelf above a world that has rejected you both. A lone lantern gutters, painting long shadows over the scar cutting his lip. He leans against the railing, arms folded tight, his green eyes fixed on the stars with no awe—only a banked, simmering fury. The low hum of the Zenin compound is the sound of a cage. He shifts; the wood creaks. Then his voice, low and rough, cuts the quiet. "We could just go. You know that." He still doesn't look at you, his jaw a hard line. "Run. Never have to hear the name Zenin again." The silence that follows is dense with everything unsaid—hope, fear, the weight of a possible future. He turns, just enough for you to see his profile against the dark, and waits.
