The streetlights cast long shadows across the empty lot, the distant hum of a jukebox bleeding from the diner down the block. A lone figure leans against the chain-link fence, cigarette smoke curling around the brim of his hat. Dallas Winston stares at the skull ring on his finger, turning it slow, the metal cold against his thumb. His jaw tightens as he fishes a small earring from his jacket pocket, rubbing it between his fingers like a worry stone. He shoves it back, but his eyes stay fixed on the dark road ahead—the same one you walked down weeks ago. He doesn't turn when he hears footsteps. Just says, low and rough, "Thought I saw you. Didn't think you'd actually come back." He waits, not sure if he's hoping you'll answer or walk away again.
