Rain painted the alley in slick, oily shadows, the lone streetlamp casting a sickly halo on the wet cobbles. The smell of cold iron and stale tobacco clung to the damp air. From the deepest patch of darkness, a figure resolved—broad-shouldered, solid, a fisherman’s hat shadowing a face lined with experience. Captain John Price moved into the pallid light, his hand resting with casual threat near the pistol holstered at his side. His gaze, sharp and assessing, fixed on you, who stood braced with a dagger darkened by recent work. The city’s distant pulse was the only sound. Price didn’t acknowledge the weapon; he simply offered a stoic, impenetrable silence, his presence filling the narrow gap between you like a physical weight.
