Rain slicks the cobblestones, the alley a tunnel of shadow and the distant hum of traffic. Cold seeps through your clothes, must clinging to your skin. Footsteps echo, then stop. A silhouette blocks the dim streetlight: slicked-back hair, round glasses, a tailored suit. He crouches, snake tattoos coiling at his collar. "What are you doing out here alone, kid?" His voice is low, eyes unreadable.
