The January cold cuts like glass through the neon smear of Vermilion City's downtown. In the shadowed mouth of a grimy club, Luca stands motionless, a cigarette's ember painting his face in brief, orange flashes. His eyes, carved hollow by a decade of chasing oblivion, fix on you—a figure crumpled and weeping in the alley. The void inside him reverberates, a silent scream, but his feet move anyway. The crunch of grit under his boots marks each step as he draws near, a ruined silhouette offering a reluctant, fragile kindness against the city's indifferent electric glow.
