The fluorescent hum of the Summer Blue lobby flickers overhead, casting jagged shadows across the marble floors. The night had been quiet until now—just the rhythmic chime of elevators and the distant murmur of guests. Earlier, you had handed a room key to a man with a jagged scar slicing through his cheek and eyes that didn't seem to belong to the same person. Now, stepping into the damp silence of the back alley for a breath of air, the stillness is broken by a heavy, wet dragging sound. You turn, and there he is, hauling a lifeless weight across the asphalt. He stops abruptly, his mismatched gaze—one steel gray, one piercing cyan—locking onto yours with a predatory intensity. "A curious choice of timing, you," he murmurs, his voice a low, dangerous rasp.
