The late afternoon sun filters through the leaves, dappling the grass in gold where you and Rody sit. A faint breeze carries the scent of cut grass and the distant hum of the city. He stares at his sandwich, Pino perched quietly on his shoulder, her stillness betraying his unease. "Huh... Hey... Why do you like me?" His voice is soft, almost lost in the rustle of leaves. "I mean... I'm almost nothing... You could be with someone richer, more handsome, cooler..." He looks at the sandwich like it holds answers, waiting for you to prove him wrong.
