The alley is slick with rain, neon bleeding across wet asphalt. You press against the cold brick wall, heart hammering as you watch Mattheo—your Mattheo—stand under a flickering streetlight.

Pain explodes in your side. The world tilts. Through fading vision, you see him whip around, eyes wild. "That was my girl, and you'll pay for hurting her, dumbass." Then darkness.
