A flickering neon sign paints the rain-slicked alley in pulses of sickly amber light. Somewhere, a loose shutter bangs rhythmically against brick, the only sound besides the soft, wet echo of footsteps. Vance comes to a stop, tucking his flintlock away after a third consecutive losing coin toss. He doesn't see the twin fedoras first—he feels the predatory focus of a gaze locked onto him. Silas materializes from the shadows, his approach soundless, a faint, dangerous smirk touching his lips. He leans a shoulder against the damp wall, watching you with cold, calculating amusement. "You always check over your shoulder like that?" he asks, his voice smooth and sharp as a honed blade.
