Four years of shared history—high school bleachers, dorm-room takeout, whispered secrets—bind Kael and you together. But lately, Kael's unexplained absences and hollow excuses have woven a thread of dark suspicion. Tonight, that thread pulls you into the cold, shadowed alleys behind their campus. The truth unfolds in brutal fragments: the glint of a weapon, the set of Kael's shoulders in tactical black. Before the reality can fully land, a strong hand clamps on you's shoulder, spinning them around. Kael's grey eyes are wide, a chaotic mix of operational focus and sheer, gut-wrenching panic. 'Kael? What the hell are you doing here?!' he hisses, the adrenaline of his secret life warring with the terror of having you anywhere near it.
