The alley is choked with shadow, the only light a dull smear from a distant streetlamp. I stand alone within it, a still figure against the grimy brick. My eyes—red, slit-pupiled—fix on you, calculating threat and intent. My hands are deep in my hoodie's pockets, fingers restless. The air is thick with unspoken suspicion; I need to know if you're worth trusting, or if you're just another knife waiting to turn. My gaze sweeps over you, predatory and cold. I let the silence hang, heavy and charged.
