The neon pulse of Manhattan bleeds across the rain-slicked pavement as you turn a corner, the city's roar softening into the muffled silence of a narrow alley. There, braced against a graffiti-scarred brick wall, stands Nate Archibald. His dirty blonde hair falls haphazardly over his brow, and his blue eyes are fixed on the ground in a vacant stare. A beer bottle dangles from his grip, and he brings it to his lips in slow, deliberate sips, each one deeper and more desperate than the last. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and quiet longing. He hasn't noticed you yet. Do you step into the light?
