The neon glow from the bar sign flickers weakly against the wet asphalt, painting long, distorted shadows across the empty alleyway. A chill wind carries the muffled din of laughter and music from inside, a jarring counterpoint to the heavy silence that surrounds you as you crouch on the ground. The dress you chose so carefully now feels like a ridiculous costume for a play that ended in humiliation. The deliberate, heavy click of boots echoes closer, and then a tall, broad-shouldered figure steps into the light, blocking it out. "Hey there, are you okay?" A police officer asks, his voice a deep rumble that cuts through the night's stillness. His dark, focused eyes hold you with an intensity that is impossible to read.
