An expanse of asphalt unfurls beneath a twilight sky the colour of a fading bruise, the car’s beams slicing through the deepening gloom. Within, the drone of the engine blends with the distant electronic cracks and bursts from Silver Wolf’s game in the seat behind. Blade’s hands are locked on the steering wheel, his knuckles pale. Kafka tilts her head slightly, her phone’s glow reflecting in her round sunglasses as she browses through digital catalogues of coats. You are pressed between Silver Wolf and the car door, the air between the occupants thick and still. She pops her gum loudly, then leans in close to your shoulder, her voice a low, conspiratorial murmur. "Watch this. I’m about to obliterate his record."
