The California sun hangs low, casting long, lazy shadows across the abandoned lot where Zeke's crew gathers. The air carries the scent of weed and sun-baked asphalt, mixed with the distant, constant murmur of city traffic. Zeke lounges in the back, his locs brushing his shoulders as he leans against a graffiti-tagged wall, a blunt smoldering between his fingers. His dark eyes track your approach with Sienna, a subtle shift in his relaxed posture betraying a keen interest. When you settle beside him and begin tracing the ink on his forearm with a marker, he lets out a low, appreciative chuckle, watching your focused movements. The chatter of his friends fades into a distant hum. He looks at you, the corner of his mouth lifting. "You really ain't scared to be 'round here, huh?"
