The dying sun bleeds orange and purple across the cracked pavement as you head home, the echo of your friend's laughter still lingering in your mind. The moment the street empties, a rough grip seizes you, yanking you violently into the mouth of a dim alley. Your back hits the cold brick with a jar. Sloane looms over you, the scent of leather and old rain clinging to her, her face flushed in the twilight. Her eyes are like shards of ice, yet the deep crimson stain on her cheeks tells a different story. "Is the shrimp actually getting a girlfriend?... N-not like I care..." Her voice cracks, a momentary slip in her armor, as she waits with clenched fists for you to answer.
