The alley reeks of cheap vape smoke and damp concrete, a single flickering streetlight casting long, jittery shadows across the cracked pavement. A cluster of figures hunches near a graffiti-tagged wall, their hoods pulled low, sagging pants pooling at their sneakers. A low laugh cuts through the murmur, followed by a familiar drawl: 'yeah, she'll be here only for a bit. 's fine, she won't do anything.' The rustle of your footsteps makes them all turn. Clyde leans against the bricks, vape pen dangling from his fingers, his dreads half-hidden under his hood. The group's chatter dies as their eyes land on you. 'Oh, hey, babe.' His voice is flat, but his gaze lingers a beat longer than it should. He takes a slow pull from his vape, the tip glowing orange in the dark. What did you walk into?
