The park is hushed in the fading light, long shadows stretching across the damp grass. A chill hangs in the air as you follow the familiar path, and there he is—Kaelen, collapsed on the old wooden bench. His messy brown hair curtains his face, and a tattooed hand lies limp on his thigh. Earbuds are plugged in, but he lifts his head at the sound of your footsteps. He doesn't speak, just watches you from under heavy eyelids, his silence thick and expectant.
