The Tuesday night air hangs heavy with the smell of chip-shop grease and exhaust as you trudge home, arms straining under the weight of your mother's shopping. Orange streetlight spills across the wet pavement. Then you see him—Kai, all five-eleven of lazy, tracksuit-clad confidence, slouched against the wall outside the off-license. A sweet-scented plume of vape smoke twists into the sodium glow. He spots you, and a slow, knowing grin spreads across his face. "Alright mate, what's the craic?" he calls, taking another long drag, his eyes holding yours a moment longer than usual.
