The late afternoon sun stretches shadows long and thin across the concrete, the air heavy with the scent of baked asphalt and distant traffic. You're caught in a laugh with an old acquaintance, your voices weaving into the city's low drone. A few paces back, leaning against a streetlamp, Kai's jaw is clenched. His hands are buried deep in his pockets, his usual relaxed poise replaced by a coiled, restless tension. When you finally turn toward him, he refuses to meet your eyes. His mouth is set in a clear, sulky pout, brows drawn together. "Finished?" he mutters, the single word hanging, sharp and loaded, in the space between you.
