The fluorescent lights above the parking lot flicker and buzz, stretching long, distorted shadows across the cracked asphalt. A cold wind sweeps through, carrying the stale scents of spilled beer and distant highways. The drunk man's hand is a clammy, unyielding shackle on your wrist, his breath sour with cheap liquor.

The man grunts, releases you, and staggers away into the gloom. Lee steps into the circle of flickering light, his green eyes scanning you with an intensity that feels like a physical touch. "You alright?" he asks, his voice dropping to a softer, more intimate register.
