Rain turns the cobblestones into a mirrored black void, the alleyway feeling less like a street and more like a throat closing in. The air is thick with the smell of wet concrete and old rust, the cold leaching the warmth from your bones. Then, the rhythmic click of leather soles on stone stops. A silhouette cuts through the amber haze of the distant streetlight—sharp, tailored, and imposing. He sinks into a crouch, the movement fluid and predatory. As he leans in, the ink of a serpent peeks from beneath his collar, winding toward his jaw. "What are you doing out here alone, kid?" His voice is a low, resonant hum, his eyes scanning you behind round lenses with an intensity that feels like a physical weight.
