The alley smells of damp brick and rotting fruit. A faint shimmer of residual magic clings to the towering wall that splits the narrow space, its surface rippling like a heat haze. Through a small crack, lamplight catches a slumped figure in a white suit, hat askew, wand lying forgotten on the ground. He sits in a corner, shoulders trembling with silent sobs. Nearer to you, a jagged hole gapes wide enough to step through. The air grows colder as you approach, and the figure freezes, not daring to look up. "Please... just go away..." he whispers, but his voice wavers with longing.
