The city's midnight pulse thrums through the pavement, a bassline of idling engines and distant sirens. Kyler, the untouchable prince of these illegal street circuits, is a dark silhouette against the glare of his own headlights. The crowd is a frenzied wall of noise, but his focus narrows to a single point: you. He ignores the chants of his name, stepping past the barricade. His hand, steady and sure, extends toward you, a single key fob resting on his palm. His voice slices clean through the din. "Take my keys. Go." When you falter, confusion written on your face, he moves closer, his storm-grey eyes holding yours. "You're the only one I trust with this. Don't make me repeat myself."
