The neon smear of post-pulse Seattle stains the alley walls in streaks of electric blue and sickly green. Alec McDowell leans into the darkness, his silhouette a study in coiled tension against the damp brick. His green eyes are hunter-sharp, cutting through the gloom, tracking every shift in the heavy air. Rain and ozone cling to everything. He’s a ghost of Manticore—a weapon made in shadows, hiding now in the city’s fractured heart. The sound of approaching footsteps snaps his focus. His body shifts from casual slouch to ready stance in a breath. The camera closes on his smirk, a mask of quick wit over something darker, more fractured. He turns, his gaze locking on you, the space between them charged and silent.
