last update Last Updated: 2024-06-05 17:41:07

As I make my way through the deserted streets, a voice calls out from the shadows, stopping me in my tracks.

"Antonio?"

I turn to see Amari standing there, her expression a mix of concern and confusion.

"Amari," I say, surprised to see her. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to find you," she says, stepping closer. "I heard about what happened. Are you okay?"

I nod, grateful for her concern. "I'm fine. But I need to get out of here, and disappear for a while."

"Disappear?" she echoes, her brow furrowing in concern. "What do you mean?"

"I mean I need to lay low for a bit, until things cool down," I explain. "It's not safe for me here anymore."

Amari looks at me, her eyes searching mine for answers. "But where will you go? What will you do?"

"I don't know yet," I admit. "But I'll figure something out. I always do."

She reaches out and takes my hand, her touch grounding me amid chaos. "Whatever you decide, just promise me you'll be careful."

I squeeze her hand, grateful for her support.
