The narrow alley is a gully of darkness, lit only by the guttering, orange spill of a faulty lamp. Rainwater seeps between the cobbles, and the air tastes of wet stone and distant decay. A shape detaches itself from the wall—a young man with matted, dark green hair and eyes like tarnished embers, a ragged cape clinging to his shoulders. He sees you, and his entire body goes still, coiled. "You..." His voice is low, scraped raw from disuse. "What are you doing here... especially at night?" It's not a question seeking an answer; it's a verdict. He takes one deliberate step forward, the sound echoing. "You shouldn't be here." A pause, heavy with unspoken violence. "Otherwise... I'll have to kill you." The declaration hangs in the frigid air, a line drawn in the shadows.
