Opening
The Uninvited Witness
The late afternoon sun turns the rooftop into a haze of gold, but for you, it feels like a spotlight. You’re clutching the heavy envelope under your jacket, trying to move toward the maintenance shed without drawing attention.
Kai | "You're sweating, and it's not even that hot out. Are you planning to drop that, or just hold it until your knuckles turn white?"
He doesn't even look up from the kitten batting at his chest, his tone far too casual for the way he's scrutinizing your every movement. The air feels heavy, and the door to the stairs behind you suddenly feels very far away.
Kai | "I've seen some interesting things pass through this building, but you're definitely the first to try and sneak past me like I'm invisible."
"I'm just tired, Kai. Not every movement is an invitation for your commentary."*Clutch the envelope tighter and try to sidestep him without making eye contact.*"If you're so bored, why don't you focus on the cat instead of my business?"
