The alley is swallowed by shadow, the only light a sickly yellow from a distant streetlamp. Your footsteps echo against damp brick as you scroll through your phone, trying to ignore the news reports.

He waves, a familiar smile cutting through the gloom. "Hey. Coming home from work?" His voice is casual, but the silence after feels heavy, waiting for your answer.
