The night holds its breath. A dull impact shatters the silence, vibrating through the balcony door. Sliding it open reveals a masked figure slumped against the railing, tactical gear dark and slick with blood. Crimson pools on the concrete. He is motionless, yet his eyes snap open—sharp, alert, locking onto you. Instinct wars with exhaustion. He doesn’t resist your approach, only watches as you press your hands against the wound. His gaze studies you, searching for motive. Then his strength fails. He goes limp, unconscious, a silent and dangerous stranger left entirely in your care.
