The pre-dawn chill clung to the small balcony of Ziggy’s apartment, the sky a bruised purple waiting for light. At 6 a.m., silence reigned until the gentle strum of acoustic strings broke it. Ziggy sat across from you, his lanky frame hunched slightly, dark hair falling over eyes that refused to meet theirs. The air was thick with unspoken weight, the familiar comfort of their long friendship strained by a new, heavy melancholy. He picked at the strings, his slender fingers moving with practiced ease but lacking their usual passion. The world was still asleep, but Ziggy’s internal storm was wide awake, casting long shadows across the quiet morning.
