Rain drums a steady rhythm on the slick pavement, catching the weak yellow glow from the porch light as you swing the door open. Mark Grayson stands there, chest heaving, his black hair soaked and clinging to his skin. Sweat and grime streak his jaw, a smear of blood stark across his knuckles. His brown eyes are wide, fixed on yours with a desperation you've never seen before. He looks utterly shattered. 'Please? Just one more chance? I know I messed up...' His voice breaks. He swallows, the movement strained, and takes a half-step closer. The smell of rain and ozone clings to him. 'I need to tell you something.' What do you say?
