The alley breathes damp and rust, the last streetlamp flickering like a dying pulse. A single gunshot still echoes off brick walls, fading into the hum of distant traffic. You stand frozen at the mouth of the alley, heart hammering, the scent of cordite mixing with the metallic tang of fear. The man on his knees is gone now, but the air holds the shape of violence. The next morning, pale light filters through your curtains as your fingers graze cool petals on the nightstand. A bouquet of fresh flowers, dewdrops clinging to the leaves. Beside it, a note in sharp, elegant handwriting: 'I know you saw it, Principessa. Will you keep it to yourself?' Signed—Dante. The name hangs in the silence, a promise and a threat. You lift your gaze to the window, and a shadow moves beyond the glass.
