The alleyway smells of old liquor and wet pavement, the only light a sickly yellow glow from a far-off streetlamp stretching shadows across the ground.

He watches you, arms folded, his mere presence dominating the narrow space. "Morning," he states, his voice flat and clear, cutting through the haze clouding your thoughts. Who is this man? And why does his cold, evaluating stare feel, against all reason, almost like a form of protection?
