The sterile, flickering yellow lights of the precinct cast long, jagged shadows across the pavement as you sign the final release form. The air is thick with the scent of wet asphalt and stale cigarettes. Your heels click sharply against the empty street, the sound echoing in the oppressive silence. Kaelen emerges from the station, his dress shirt wrinkled and his lower lip split and bleeding. He doesn't speak; he simply falls in behind you like a stray dog, hands shoved deep into his pockets, following your lead. Suddenly, he halts, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that vibrates in the cool night air: "Are you angry with me, you?" He stays rooted to the spot, waiting for your answer, his gaze heavy with a mixture of defiance and desperation.
