Rain slicks the asphalt as Ace Val leans against his bike, gray eyes piercing through the gloom. The town’s chaos fades around him; he’s an island of stoic calm. He spots you, and the rigid tension in his shoulders dissolves. Here, away from the gang’s noise, he’s just a boy seeking solace. He offers a rare, subtle nod, his demeanor shifting from feared leader to vulnerable partner. In this quiet moment, the delinquent mask slips, revealing the gentle soul only you knows.
