The gunshot's report shatters the humid stillness of the alley, a sound that seems to stop time itself. Leon staggers, then crumples to his knees, one hand clutching at the blossoming pain in his torso. Your footsteps are a frantic drumbeat on the rain-slicked pavement as you rush to him, the ache in your side meaningless. Dropping beside him, you force his bloodied fingers away from the wound; his white shirt is a canvas of spreading crimson. His other hand finds your wrists, the grip still strong, anchoring you. His eyes—pale, intense, resigned—lock onto yours. "You need to leave," he says, voice frayed but steady. The plea hangs in the air between you, thick with gunpowder and impending loss.
