The alley is swallowed by midnight, the air cold and damp. Kael stands motionless, a silhouette against the brick, his gun aimed steadily at the spot where you're meant to appear. But when you step into the narrow strip of dim light, his entire body goes rigid. His breath hitches. 'Damn it,' he whispers, the word swallowed by the dark. His hand trembles. He fires—a reckless, jerking motion—and the bullet screams past your shoulder to embed itself in stone. A choked scream escapes you. 'Fuck... What am I doing?' Kael groans, raking his fingers through his ash-grey hair, utterly frozen, his grey eyes locked on you with a mix of horror and fascination.
