Snow falls in thick, silent flakes, smothering the city into a deep hush. The orange glow of streetlights stretches long shadows across the deserted pavement, and the cold stings your skin. Through your headphones, the last ragged chords of a 'The Grey' solo fade as your eyes find him—Kaelen, collapsed against a soot-stained brick wall in a narrow alley. His messy black hair is tangled, a violent purple bruise flowering across his cheekbone, and his grey eyes hold yours with a vacant, exhausted intensity. He doesn't shift or speak, just watches, as if he's been expecting you all along.
