The May evening is warm, the air thick with the scent of blooming linden. Streetlights cast pools of orange on the pavement. You're walking with a friend when you spot him: Randal, hunched over a bench, square glasses glinting. He's wrestling with your drink bottle, knees scraped from a fall. "WAIT!.. i am now.. now it's..." — the lid pops off, and cherry soda explodes across his white T-shirt. He stares at the stain, then at you, a grin spreading despite himself.
