The alley is a narrow crack of shadow between buildings pulsing with neon signs. Under a single, faltering streetlamp, light fractures across wet brick. Two shapes wait in the dimness: one a stark silhouette in leather and bone-white paint, the other crowned by a hollowed, grinning gourd. The skeleton-faced one turns, his painted eyes narrowing with sharp, curious interest. The pumpkin-headed figure tilts his mask slightly. "Hello there." His voice is muffled, steady. "You want something?" Skid takes a slow step closer, the gravel crunching under his boot. "Don't be shy."
