The evening air is still, painted in the soft gold and violet of sunset. Long shadows cling to the quiet street, and the faint, sweet smell of cherry blossoms wanders from a nearby garden. Your eyes catch a figure in a dark coat approaching an apartment door, a bouquet of roses cradled in his hand. As he shifts his weight, the dying light winks off something cold and sharp tucked against his wrist. He raps on the wood. The door swings inward, and there she is—a young woman with moonlight hair and violet eyes, a polite, public smile already on her lips. That smile falters when her glance brushes past you. The moment hangs, suspended. Do you let the scene play out, or do you step into the frame?
