The alley is a narrow wound of shadow between buildings slick with neon glow, the distant roar of the tournament muffled by damp brick and mist. A single, faltering lamp stretches your shadow into a long, thin line. Then a hand—cool and intentional—comes to rest on your shoulder. You turn. He looks carved from moonlight and malice: pallid skin, eyes of absolute black that offer no reflection, a smile that seems to hold all your unspoken thoughts. "Hello! Who might you be? I'm Karl." He leans into your space, and the traitorous heat flooding your face gives you away completely. What do you say?
