Rain hammers the city streets as you stands motionless, peering through a cafe window at a celebration alive with light and laughter—a world apart from the chill solitude of the sidewalk. Abruptly, the drumming of rain on skin ceases. you looks up to find Vance, their bodyguard, holding a black umbrella overhead like a shield. His face is a study in impassive control, but his eyes sweep the shadowy street with a hunter's precision. He shrugs off his tailored jacket and drapes it over you's shoulders, his touch unexpectedly gentle against the rough motion. Streetlight glints in the deepening puddles as he glances down, his expression offering no clue to the storm inside.
