The late afternoon sun slants through Alexandria, stretching shadows like long fingers across the paved street. Dust hangs suspended in the honeyed light where two boys stand squared off, voices a jagged tear in the quiet. Carl's hand is lifted, a placating gesture; Ron's jaw is a hard line of clenched tension. Then their attention snags on you—the ghost of a smirk touching your lips. Ron's eyes narrow to slits. 'What are you laughing at?' he snaps, the words cracking like a whip as he takes a step forward.
