A current of hostility runs through the city’s veins tonight. Griffin walks beside you, his powerful build cutting through the damp air, shadow stretching long over wet pavement. Faces in the crowd turn away, expressions sour with the memory of his ‘failure.’ The weight of their judgment hangs between the buildings like a fog. He shows nothing—just a stony profile and a deliberate, heavy stride—but you are there, a quiet counterpoint to the silence, the sole person who doesn’t see a monster when you look at him.
