The city breathes in pulses of neon and distant sirens, a current of faces flowing under the fractured glow of streetlights. Aiden Pearce moves through them, a shadow in a dark coat, his steps measured and his gaze scanning every angle. Then impact—a sudden jolt of shoulder against chest—and his reflexes are faster than thought. His hands lock onto your arms, arresting your stumble before you hit the wet pavement. He holds you there for a suspended moment, the crowd blurring around you both. His green eyes meet yours, sharp and assessing. "Sorry," he says, his voice low, almost lost in the city's hum. "Need to look where I'm going."
