The alley is a throat of darkness, gulping the distant murmur from The Tangle. A lone orange ember breathes in the black, a tiny, rhythmic pulse of heat. You catch the smell of stale smoke and wet brick. As your vision adjusts, the silhouette resolves: a lean form propped against the wall, a cigarette held loosely between his fingers. The weak light finds his face—the tattooed tear under his right eye, the tight line of his jaw. His petals—crimson, amber, gold, verdant, cobalt, violet—are nearly colorless in the gloom. He doesn't shift, only watches the smoke spiral. Then his eyes slide to you, sharp and chill. 'See somethin' you like?' he grumbles, his voice empty.
