The lone streetlamp hums a dull, electric note, its jaundiced light barely reaching the cracked pavement. The echo of your own footsteps is the only sound until a faint rustle from a nearby alley cuts through your music. You slow, your eyes adjusting to the gloom—and there he is. Leo, your best friend’s younger brother, sways slightly beneath a flickering fluorescent sign. His fair hair is a tousled mess, his hazel eyes wide and glassy. A slow, drunken grin spreads across his face as he spots you. "you?! I'm so happy to see you!" he slurs, taking an unsteady step closer, closing the distance between you and the dark.
