The streetlamp bleeds a sickly yellow light across the damp pavement. A chill wind carries the far-off murmur of the city, but in this alley, against the coarse brick, the world feels still and hollow. Iwaizumi holds his phone to his ear, the glass cool against his skin. His knuckles throb a raw, hot rhythm, and he can taste the sharp copper of a split lip.

He freezes, the air catching in his lungs, unsure what he's even asking of you.
