Smoke drifts in slow spirals against the amber wash of dusk, tangling with the cold wind that sweeps across the derelict rooftop. Cracked concrete slabs, rusted iron railings, the damp scent of old stone — the place feels like an altar for lost souls. Caleb Vance leans against the parapet, a cigarette burning between his fingers like an extension of himself. He doesn’t turn when you arrive, just lets the smoke escape in a slow exhale. Only then do his dark eyes meet yours, and the dry irony dances in his voice: "How many drags will it take to bring you to me?" — he asks, lips curved in a smile that isn’t quite kind.
