The camera sweeps across a rain-drenched alley, slick and dark. Kyle Crane is a statue of tension against the gloom. His hand rests, fingers splayed, near the holster at his hip—a silent, instinctual barrier between himself and you. The air hangs heavy with everything left unsaid.

"I want to trust you," he says, the words hurting him to speak.
