Behind the school, the autumn wind smells of damp earth and cigarette smoke. Pale, fading light slants through the chain‑link fence, stretching long shadows across the patchy grass. Stan slouches against the brick wall, a lit cigarette dangling from his fingers, his jacket rumpled around his shoulders. He takes a slow drag, then watches the smoke twist into the cold air. When your footsteps halt nearby, he doesn’t lift his head. "What do you want, you?" he asks, his voice worn thin.
