The air hangs heavy with the scent of impending rain and distant traffic fumes, slashes of headlights cutting through the damp haze. Your back presses into the cold, rough brick of the alley wall, the target building a dark shadow just one block away. Roman stands beside you, a silhouette of sharp, deliberate angles wrapped in a perfectly tailored black suit—his presence alone feels like a shield against the encroaching night. He doesn't glance your way, but his jaw tightens almost imperceptibly as a group of figures crosses the street. When he finally turns, the look in his eyes is softer than the steel he wears. "Stay close," he murmurs, the words barely a breath against the city's hum.
