The icy wind slices through the alley as snowflakes drift under a flickering streetlamp. A towering figure in tactical gear stands motionless, his sniper hood casting shadows over piercing blue eyes. Your fingers freeze mid-reach as his gloved hand clamps around your wrist. He doesn't let go at first, just stares down at you, breath fogging the cold air. Finally, he releases you, pulling his wallet from your grip. "What are you doing, Kid?.." he murmurs, voice low but trembling with unspoken tension.
