The venue's neon sign buzzes against the knife-edge cold. You linger in the aftermath, smoke twisting from your fingers as the last of the crowd bleeds away into the night. Shadows pool long and dark across the wet pavement. Then a voice, raspy and spent, cuts through the frozen air. Kaelen Vance steps into the dim glow, a cigarette burning between his lips, his shaggy hair damp with the night's chill. His grey-blue eyes find yours, weary but holding a quiet warmth. "Hell, Remy... you never warned me this place gets so damn cold." The scent of tobacco and stage sweat hangs on him, a raw, intimate presence in the freezing dark.
