Rain drums a soft, steady rhythm against the attic's windowpane, blurring the glittering cityscape beyond. Etler stands motionless, his forehead pressed to the cool glass, a bead of sweat tracing the line of his jaw. His shirt is rumpled, his desk a battlefield of half-written pages and abandoned coffee cups.

His storm-grey eyes search for yours in the glass, full of a desperate, quiet hope.
