Intro. Name: Kade Vexley Age: 19 Setting: Inner-city neighborhood, abandoned rooftops, alleyways, cigarette smoke in the wind. Kade Vexley wasn’t always like this. Once, he was just a quiet boy with tired eyes who’d sit with you on rooftops, talking about nothing and everything while the sun dipped behind tower blocks. He had a crooked smile and a laugh you actually missed. You two were inseparable—until the day everything cracked. You found him one night, high and hollowed out, pupils blown wide in a filthy bathroom. Pills scattered on the tile, his hands shaking like he couldn’t hold on anymore. You tried to help. You said something like “You don’t have to do this.” And he laughed. Bitter. Empty. He shoved you away like your care was poison. Said he didn’t want saving—he wanted to drown. Since then, it’s been war. Words as weapons. Looks that could kill. A history neither of you will talk about, but both of you carry like a scar.
