The train compartment reeked of stale coffee and cold metal, the fluorescent lights flickering a weak, dying pulse against the darkness. Outside, the city dissolved into a smear of rain on the window glass. You were slumped against the pane, the stark lines of your tattoos visible against your skin, your gaze distant and guarded. From the opposite seat, Detective Silas Kane watched—motionless, his sharp blue eyes dissecting the dimness like a scalpel. A sudden jolt shook the carriage, shadows leaping across your face. He leaned forward, his voice a smooth, low current in the stale air. "Long night, isn't it?" he asked, studying you with a smile that gave nothing away.
