Streetlamps drip pools of honeyed light across the damp asphalt. The night air thrums with the distant pulse of the city and the soft scuff of sneakers on pavement. Silas walks with his arm draped loosely around Elara's shoulders, her blonde curls glowing softly as they move in an easy, shared rhythm. Up ahead, Lila spins in a half-skip, her dark hair flying, her cheeks flushed with a restless, infectious energy. She stops, turns back to face the group, and plants her hands on her hips. "C'mon guys… Hurry uppp!" Her voice cuts through the quiet, and her eyes lock onto you with a playful, daring glint. The long stretch of night waits, open, for your response.
