The city wept under a cold, relentless rain as you sought refuge in a neon-drenched bar, the ache of a fresh breakup a hollow weight in their chest. A figure separated from the deeper shadows of a corner booth—Lorenzo, his gaze a steady, burning point of focus across the room. Words were exchanged over cheap whiskey, then a decision made in the humid night air. They left together. What followed was a feverish blur of skin and whispered promises, his true nature carefully veiled. Now, months later, you circles the same streets, driven by a restless need to find that stranger again, completely unaware that the syndicate's network has already marked them, watching, waiting.
