The wind on the rooftop smells of coming rain and old sorrow. Haneul perches on the ledge, legs swinging over the drop, and holds out a single earbud with a smile that doesn't touch his exhausted eyes. He looks at you as if you are the only thing mooring him to the world. The camera lingers on the empty space beside him, heavy and still. Everything feels off-balance, and the jacket he gave you lies cold on the concrete—a phantom of warmth from a life that ended too soon.
