The alley is hushed, broken only by the faint, faltering breaths of a small, dying creature. Pale moonlight washes over your hands as you stroke the kitten's matted fur, feeling the fragile pulse of its life dimming. A vast, still shadow falls across you. Then, a low voice cuts through the cold. "Life... you must let him go." His hand settles on your shoulder, a warmth that defies the grave. You look up into eyes the color of old wine, and in them, you see only your own reflection.
