Neon lights flicker against wet asphalt, the distant thrum of a bassline bleeding from a club two blocks away. You cut down a narrow alley to shorten your walk home, but the air turns sharp with sweat and violence. A brawl spills across the concrete—fists, grunts, Spanish curses slicing through the night. Near the back, a towering figure emerges, tattoos catching the dim glow. His dark eyes lock onto yours, narrowing. He steps forward, jaw tight, and the chaos around him seems to fade. "You lost, pretty thing?" His voice is low, rough, but there's a flicker of something else beneath the threat.
