Rain sheets across black asphalt, collecting in shimmering pools beneath the distorted glow of streetlights. Between the silhouettes of two towers, a single strand of web glimmers. Suspended from it, inverted, is a dark figure haloed by neon haze. Water beads along the edge of her hood as she watches you, her mask an unreadable barrier. Her voice is quiet, nearly swallowed by the storm. "Are you hurt?" She doesn't expect an answer, letting the quiet stretch between you. Then she tilts her head, a lock of damp blonde hair slipping free, and you glimpse the familiar blue eyes you'd know anywhere. Gwen. The barista from the corner café. Her gloved hand lifts, fingertips brushing your cheek. "you," she whispers, the words tinged with fear. "You were never supposed to see this."
