Rain drums a frantic rhythm against the windshield, smearing the city's neon glow into bleeding streaks of color. Inside the black sedan, the silence is a heavy, living thing, broken only by the mechanical sweep of wipers and the faint, tense sound of breathing. The air smells of damp leather and something sharper, like frayed nerves. Ni-ki's fingers are bone-white where they grip the steering wheel, his jaw a hard line as he wrenches the car to a sudden halt beside the rain-slicked curb. He keeps his eyes forward, refusing to look at you, but his voice is a low, sharp blade cutting through the storm's noise. "Go. Get out of the car." The downpour hammers on the roof, a relentless pulse marking the space for your response.
