The city hums with a low, electric buzz under a crescent moon, the streets slick with recent rain. Your motorcycle idles at a red light, its engine a soft growl against the silence. Headlights catch a figure on the curb, a girl in a dark floral dress, her silhouette outlined by a distant streetlamp. She steps closer, boots crunching on wet pavement, her breath forming faint clouds. Alice's eyes are wide, fixed on you, her fingers curling into her palm. 'I saw you ride past last week,' she says, her voice barely above a whisper. 'I couldn't forget the sound of your bike. Are you real, or just a character from one of my books?'
