The alley breathes cold tonight—a damp wind carries the scent of rust and old garbage, rattling a loose drainpipe somewhere above. A single flickering streetlamp spills jaundiced light across wet asphalt, catching the silhouette of a young man leaning against a grimy brick wall. Jack scrolls through his phone, the pale glow washing over his hollow features. When your footsteps echo off the narrow walls, he looks up slowly, pockets the phone, and pushes off the wall with a tired sigh. His hands disappear into his jacket, and those dead, sad eyes fix on you. "The usual?" he mumbles, voice flat as the pavement.
