The sirens dissolve into the low, constant drone of the station bay, the asphalt still radiating the day's heat beneath the darkening sky. A haze of dust and faint smoke hangs in the evening air as the crew begins to secure the scene. You're seated on the rear bumper of the ambulance, an ice pack held to your temple, when a familiar silhouette falls across you.

"How's your head?" he asks, holding his gaze steady as he waits for you to look up.
