The neon bleed from the club door fades into the alley's raw, winter bite. You stand waiting, shivering inside a fur coat thrown over stage wear, the promise of a ride feeling increasingly distant. The air carries the ghosts of cigarettes and frozen concrete. Then, under the arrhythmic flicker of a streetlamp, a shape resolves from the shadows. Alistair, the composed stranger from inside, is a still point apart from the night's chaos. He glances up from his phone, his dark eyes finding yours with a weighty, inscrutable focus, the ember of a cigarette casting a soft glow on his fingers. The silence isn't empty; it's thick, charged with everything left unsaid beneath the city's indifferent hum.
