The bus stop glows under a flickering, sickly streetlight, rain hammering the asphalt in icy, relentless sheets. Winter air bites through clothes, fogging the glass shelter in a ghostly haze. Leo Vance sits on the cold bench, shoulders hunched forward, a bouquet of wilted, rain-sodden flowers clutched in his veiny hands—the letter now a waterlogged, smudged ruin.

He wipes his face with a quick, rough motion, turning to face you with a fragile, desperately hopeful look.
