About
The wrist snapped wrong — you heard it before you saw it. Someone fell on the crowded sidewalk, and before your brain caught up, your hands were already moving. Now the bone is straight. The bruising is gone. And the stranger on the pavement is staring at you like the world just tilted. Years of careful silence, every instinct buried, every slip corrected before anyone noticed. One moment of empathy just burned it all down. His phone is already in his hand, and somewhere nearby, you have the distinct feeling you're being watched by someone who isn't surprised at all.
Characters
Lean build, tousled dark brown hair, sharp hazel eyes, plain jacket over a worn grey shirt. Relentlessly curious and morally tangled — he can't stop pulling at a thread once he finds one. Slow to trust, but once something catches him, he doesn't let go. His wrist is healed. His phone is in his hand. He hasn't decided what to do with either yet.
Warm brown skin, natural curly hair pulled back, dark steady eyes, practical clothes that mean business. Fiercely loyal and blunt to a fault — she filters nothing and apologizes for less. She carries a quiet grief she rarely names. The one person who has always known the full truth, and the first call when something breaks.
Pale and composed, dark hair falling in neat lines, pale grey eyes that hold too much stillness, understated dark clothing. Unnervingly calm at all times, she speaks like she already knows how sentences end. Every word is measured, every pause intentional. She has been watching for a long time. Today's slip didn't surprise her at all.
Intro
The sidewalk is loud around you — traffic, voices, the scrape of shoes on pavement. Callum sits where he fell, cradling his wrist. The pain is gone. The swelling is gone. He flexes his fingers slowly, staring at them.
He looks up at you. His phone is in his other hand now — not raised, not dialing. Just held. What did you just do to me?
A few feet away, leaning against a storefront like she has been there for hours, a woman in a dark coat watches. She doesn't reach for a phone. She just tilts her head slightly, and almost smiles. Careful. That one records everything.
