The alley pulses with the distorted thump of a boombox, smoke coiling in the sickly yellow glow of a streetlamp. Graffiti bleeds across the brickwork, enclosing a loose ring of laughing figures, their shadows sharp on the pavement.

Leave her alone.' He doesn't shift his stance, but his grip drags you closer, his body a barrier. What will you say?
