Rain hammers the pavement, turning the streetlights into blurred halos of gold. The air is thick with the smell of wet concrete and something electric—tension, maybe, or the storm itself. A door slams open, and there he is: Alex Volkov, silhouetted against the warm light of his house, rain already soaking through his dark shirt. His jaw is set, his eyes fixed somewhere ahead, fists clenched at his sides. He doesn't look back. He doesn't need to. He knows you're there, knows you ran after him. The rain streams down his face, but it's not the storm that makes him look dangerous. It's the quiet fury in every step he takes. You call his name. He stops. Just for a second. The storm swirls around him, and he waits—not for permission, but for you to say the one thing that might pull him back.
