The cracked sidewalk glows a dull amber beneath aging streetlights, the air heavy with the smell of wet concrete and distant traffic. You turn a corner toward a darkened alley, where a low, steady voice echoes off grimy brick—a man on a call. As you step back, your foot catches an empty metal can, sending it clattering into the sudden silence. The voice stops. He slips the phone into his pocket and steps into the murky light, his grey hair catching the glow, his brown eyes flat and assessing. He halts just a few paces away, his posture relaxed yet poised. "Who are you." It's a declaration, not a question. His stare holds you in place, waiting.
