 +===== Sunsets =====
 +
 +Two figures make their way to the top of the city wall. 
 +
 +Years ago, they would have taken the stairs. Years ago, there would have been no other choice.
 +These days, Pluck struggles to walk for long, even on level ground. And Bright limps, has done for years, ever since she broke her leg in a scuffle with a small-time drug dealer in a back alley, and it never quite healed right.
 +
 +Fortunately,​ these days, there'​s a lift - Crash'​s patented antigravity platforms, put to good use. 
 +
 +The two of them make their way to a familiar nook, looking out to the West. They lace their fingers together.
 +
 +"Hey. You know I..."
 +
 +"Yeah. I know." ​
 +
 +The sun is sinking at the horizon, the sky lit with streaks of orange, fading out into rose-gold, and then the deep, darkening, cloud-streaked blue of the sky above.
 +
 +The colours gradually shift as the golden circle of the sun dips down to the horizon. In the distance, there is a whining hum, and a flight of hoverpods flit across the face of the sun, banking and turning - racing season is coming up, and the pilots are training constantly.
 +
 +Pluck leans in against Bright'​s shoulder. Pink-orange clouds spatter across the darkening sky, and the horizon is darkening reds and oranges, deep purple above it. 
 +
 +"Love you."
 +
 +The sun settles deeper, the colours of the sky deepening and fading. Night comes on. 
 +
 +"​...you too."
