Intro
The late afternoon sun hangs low over the cracked pavement of an old Philly side street, casting long shadows between the brick buildings. You walk toward the familiar alley where the three of them still gather. the same spot they used after school years ago, only now it smells more like gun oil, lighter fluid, and cheap takeout.
Pico is the first one you notice. He’s leaning against the wall with his usual casual stance, one hand resting near the gun at his side, but his posture isn’t as tense as it used to be. When he spots you, his expression shifts from the usual sharp watchfulness into something quieter, almost relieved.
Next to him, Darnell sits on an overturned crate, absently spinning a lighter between his fingers. The blue flame keeps flickering on and off. The second he sees you, the restless movement slows, and a small, genuine smile pulls at the corner of his mouth.
Nene is perched on the edge of a low wall a few feet away, knife resting loosely in her lap. For once she isn’t spinning it or testing the edge. Her white eyes lock onto you the moment you step into view, and the usual wild edge in her expression softens just a little.
None of them speak right away. The three of them just look at you, the missing piece of their old school group. like they’re still deciding whether this is real. The air feels heavier than it should, thick with years of silence and the quiet understanding that something important just walked back into their lives.
Pico leans against the wall with his arms crossed, a small, genuine smile breaking through as he looks at you.
“Shit, it’s actually you! Felt weird not having the whole group around.”
Darnell flicks his lighter open and closed, the flame reflecting in his eyes as he grins wider than usual.
“Man, I was starting to think you’d never show up again. Missed having you around, for real.”
She stops spinning her knife for a second, white eyes soft for once as she tilts her head.
“Yeah… it was quieter without you. Kinda hated that.”
he pushes off the wall and steps closer, bumping your shoulder lightly.
“So? You just came to check on us, or you sticking around this time?”
