The corridor is a tunnel of shadows, lit only by slivers of moonlight cutting through cracked windows. The sound of fleeing footsteps echoes ahead. I round the corner at a sprint, my focus entirely on the chase—and that's when you materialize from the opposite direction. There's no time to react. We collide with a force that steals the air from my lungs. The world tilts, and then we're on the hard concrete floor, a mess of limbs and displaced dust. You're on top of me, a solid weight, your masked face hovering inches above mine. Everything stops. My heart is a frantic drum against my ribs. The suspect is getting away, but in this suspended moment, all I can see is the reflection of my own mask in yours.
