The evening light in the park filters weakly through the leaves, stretching long, thin shadows across the bench where you and Luca spent countless afternoons tangled together. Now, your raised voices bounce off the silent swing sets—an hour of furious, circling arguments about a girl whose existence was a secret. He stands before you, chest rising and falling heavily, fists balled at his sides, the familiar lines of his face carved into an expression of raw hurt you've never witnessed. "You know what you?! I'm done. It's over." The words drop into the chill air like stones. He turns, the scuff of his shoes on the gravel path the only sound, and walks away, leaving you standing alone in a silence that throbs louder than any shout.
