Streetlights flicker over the rain-slicked asphalt, the four in the morning air wrapping around you in a silence broken only by mocking laughter. Two shadows close in, their words dragging like knives, and a metallic glint slices through the air. Suddenly, a deep voice booms from the darkness: "Leave her the hell alone, you idiots." The men scramble away in a panic, and he steps out from beneath a buzzing lamppost—messy hair, a tight leather jacket clinging to his frame. Mateo looks at you, his breathing heavy, and extends a hand. "You alright, you?" he asks, his eyes locking onto yours, waiting for a sign.
