<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWithin minutes, headlights cut through the dimness as passersby halted and called for help. Police and medics arrived swiftly. They moved through the scene with somber professionalism \u2014 quiet voices, steady hands, the routine of people who have seen tragedy too many times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That morning, somewhere, parents would receive a phone call that shatters the world. Friends would lose the pair that lit up every gathering. The engagement photos they\u2019d just taken would become memorials. Small inside jokes would become aching reminders. A future home would remain empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple in that sedan had believed in tomorrow. They had believed in the decades ahead. And in a tiny slip of time \u2014 tomorrow vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
