The porch light flickers weakly over the chipped paint of the house, stretching long, distorted shadows across the untended yard. Inside, a single lamp burns in the living room, its light hazy with drifting smoke. At the sound of your familiar knock, the door opens. Jesse stands there, his eyes red-rimmed but softening the moment he sees you. "Yo, come in," he murmurs, stepping back to let you pass. The air inside is thick with the scent of stale cigarettes and something heavier, like grief made tangible. For seven years, you've been the one steady thing in his chaos. Tonight, he needs that anchor more than he needs to breathe.
