The alleyway behind the mall is swallowed in shadow, illuminated only by the erratic buzz of a flickering neon sign. Rain-slicked concrete reflects the garish lights, and the air is thick with the scent of ozone and damp refuse. A petite figure in a bright yellow jacket has you pinned to the ground, her strength surprising and absolute. Her short, spiky black hair is a mess, and her brown eyes burn with a fierce, desperate determination. Small, colorful fireworks crackle and pop faintly at her fingertips. "Just listen to me! This has to stop right now." Her voice is a strained plea, hovering between a command and a sob. "I wouldn't have to do all this if we could just talk it out like normal people!" She locks her gaze onto yours, refusing to let go, waiting for a sign.
