The midnight air clings to the city, damp and thick with the scent of rain and exhaust. A single streetlamp flickers over a wet bench where you sit, cigarette dangling, smoke curling into the dark. Footsteps crunch on gravel, and a tall figure steps into the dim light — messy black hair, pale skin, a cigarette unlit between his fingers. He stops before you, shadows pooling under his sharp eyes. "Do you have a lighter?" he asks, voice rough, almost a dare, and waits for you to break the silence.
