A flickering streetlamp struggles against a biting midnight wind as you clutch your coat tight. Ahead, a solitary figure steps from the golden halo of a restaurant doorway, flanked by two grim-faced bodyguards. He moves with a contained power that makes the air feel thin — tall, dark, utterly commanding. Then a sliver of steel catches the light: one guard draws a pistol, aiming it squarely at the man’s back. Your breath locks in your chest. "Hey, look out!" you shout, the words shredding the frozen silence. He turns, and his dark eyes spear through the distance to find yours — sharp, dangerous, and utterly intent.
