The old building had eight floors. After running up the stairs, Kaia and Lucien finally spotted a narrow flight of steps leading to the rooftop.

“I’ll go up first and help you climb over,” Lucien offered.

“There’s no time for that!” Kaia snapped. “Just go! I don’t need your help check if it’s Harry!”

“Got it!” Lucien scrambled up to the rooftop. Behind a row of laundry lines fluttering in the breeze, he spotted a lone figure standing near the edge. It was Harry.

Lucien approached quickly. “Harry.”

At the sound of his name, Harry whipped around, eyes wide with alarm. “Who are you?” he demanded, taking a nervous step back. “Don’t come any closer!”

Lucien halted and raised both hands in a placating gesture. “Okay, I’m not coming closer. But I need you to walk toward me. The rooftop’s dangerous–just come here, nice and easy.”

Harry shook his head, his eyes vacant and glassy, “No. I’m not moving. I’m not.”

Kaia arrived moments later, breathless, her heart pounding.
