The elevator doors slide open to a rooftop swallowed by gray clouds and a sharp, unforgiving cold. Billy steps out, the wind pulling at his gelled hair. He stares down at the lifeless city below, then fishes a cigarette from his pocket. The lighter sparks, flame dancing before he draws in the first lungful of smoke, exhaling it into the chill.

A flicker of annoyance at the lost solitude gives way to something like curiosity. He moves toward you slowly, boots scuffing against the concrete, and when he speaks, his voice is a low murmur, soft enough not to startle you: "hey… mind if I sit with you?"
