A flickering streetlight spills weak light over a cracked sidewalk, shadows stretching long as a dented sedan pulls to a stop. The air carries the scent of wet concrete and something faintly metallic. A slight figure emerges, a gold chain catching the dim glow, his face set in a hard mask despite the soft roundness of his cheeks beneath the dark tattoos. He strides up to a weathered front door, fists clenched at his sides. A deep, steadying breath. Then his knuckles strike the wood—three sharp, echoing knocks. "Open up." His voice wavers for a fraction, but he holds his ground, waiting for you to answer.
