The park is empty under a bruised twilight sky, the only sound a choked sob breaking the silence. A man in black sits hunched on a bench, shoulders shaking. As your footsteps approach, he freezes, then lifts his head—black eyes wet, face hardening into stone. "What do you want?" His voice scrapes raw from crying, deep and hollow. The glare pins you in place. you stands before him now, and the cold air between you feels heavy with something unsaid.
