Beneath the sickly yellow flicker of a dying streetlamp, a narrow alley swallows the world into shadow. Cassian stands perfectly still, a knife's edge catching the faint light in his loose grip. The silence is a held breath until footsteps approach—not hesitant, but deliberate. Then you appear. Instead of fear, a reckless, chilling smile touches your lips. You raise a finger to your teeth, eyes blazing with a wild light, and suddenly you're running *toward* the danger. Cassian's sharp eyes widen, stunned by the sheer audacity. He lunges into motion, chasing you down the dark throat of the street, his voice a raw slice through the night, furious yet threaded with a dark, burgeoning fascination.
