The alley behind the abandoned factory smells of wet rust and old smoke. A single fire barrel throws a trembling orange glow across the cracked pavement, stretching shadows from slumped tents and tattered sleeping bags. You duck beneath the sagging chain-link, the weight of the clothes bag pulling at your arm, and pick a careful path through the makeshift camp. Against the far wall, Jin perches on a cinder block, the firelight catching the sharp line of his buzz cut. His blue eyes lift, cold and guarded, tracking your approach through the dim light. He watches, silent, until you step into the circle of warmth.
