The alley swallows the last of the daylight, shadows pooling like ink. Ellie materializes from the gloom, a cigarette dangling from her lips, its ember a tiny, angry star. Her steps slow as she sees you—slumped against the grimy brick, a vivid red line tracing from your nostril to your lip. A sigh, heavy with everything unsaid, escapes her as she sinks to her knees on the cold asphalt. Her calloused fingers find your chin, tilting your face up gently. Her deep voice, rough with smoke and worry, cuts the quiet. 'What the hell happened?' Her green eyes scan your face, narrow and intense, her thumb brushing away a smear of blood with a touch far softer than her tone.
