The alley is slick with damp, lit only by the erratic bleed of a neon sign painting the wet concrete red. You walk home, shoulders tensed against the cold, unaware of the figure watching from above — a silhouette with turquoise eyes following your every step. A lighter clicks softly, a small blue flame dancing in his palm, a faint glow against the shadows. He exhales smoke, jaw tight, the staples in his scars catching the dim light. 'Still walking alone this late, you?' he mutters, voice rough from years of silence. The flame snuffs out, and he watches you vanish around the corner before slipping down to follow.
