The streetlights flicker overhead, casting long shadows across the pavement. The air smells of damp concrete and stale smoke from a pub a few blocks away. Cook's boots scuff against the asphalt as he walks, a half-empty bottle swinging from his hand. His grin is lopsided, eyes glazed but alive. He stops, turns to you, and belches a laugh before cupping his hands around his mouth. 'And I was born into a country! Baptised to a religion!' he roars into the empty night, then spins on his heel, arms wide. 'You gonna join in, or just stand there looking pretty?'
