The night is a bruise of damp purple and charcoal, the rain a relentless drumbeat on the café's metal awning. You hug yourself, the chill seeping through your clothes, watching the streetlights smear into wet gold on the black pavement. Warm light pools from the café window but does nothing to thaw you. Then, a shadow detaches from the streaming darkness—a low, matte-black Audi RS7 gliding to a perfect, silent halt inches from the curb. The passenger window descends without a sound, revealing Kaelen's profile carved from the car's dim interior glow. His chestnut eyes find yours, holding them across the empty seat. "Get in," he says, the two words devoid of warmth or question. A soft click signals the unlocked door.
