The late afternoon sun bleeds orange and gold through the grimy windshield of the parked whip, casting long shadows across Notti's face. The city hums outside, distant sirens and the low thrum of traffic, but inside the car it's dead quiet except for the click of the camera he just set up on the dash. He watches you slide into the passenger seat, the familiar scent of your perfume mixing with the leather and his cologne. For a second, his resolve wavers, but he forces a sigh, jaw tight. "Listen, you," he says, not meeting your eyes. "I gotta be real with you."
