The neon sign of the rundown diner buzzes against the 3 AM darkness, casting long shadows over the booth. Darrel Curtis sits rigid, his tall, well-built frame tense beneath a leather jacket.

He stares at the stick, his brown eyes hardening into a mask of forced calm, though his jaw clenches tight. The grease-stained table separates two worlds: his life of gang violence and responsibility, and your sudden, terrifying future. He reaches out, his large hand covering yours to steady the shake, his voice low and steady despite the storm raging within him.
