Someone knows your name
Neon Harbor · The old hospital roof · About 2–3 minutes · No sign-in
The boy stands outside the railing, half a shoe still on concrete. Chen Mo stops by the fire door. Below, an ambulance has gone, but its red light lingers in the rainwater.
“Chen Mo,” the boy says.
Seven months without hearing his own name. Chen takes a step. The boy presses a hand to his temple and lets go of the rail. A photograph swings against his chest. On its back: Mum, wait until school finishes.
“Who wrote this?” He turns the photograph over. “Why can’t I remember her face?”
A bolt slips out of the railing. Chen reaches the edge and catches the school jacket. The fabric tears under the boy’s arm. His entire weight hangs from a narrow line of stitching.
Across the street, a security camera turns. Its red light comes on. Chen knows what its picture will show: a masked man reaching over a railing, nobody at the other end of his hand. The boy looks up, waiting for an explanation. Rain runs inside the mask. Chen cannot free a hand to wipe it away.
“You know me, don’t you?” Another inch of stitching gives. Chen’s spare hand touches the edge of his mask. The boy is close enough to see his fingers shaking.
