Rain drums a cold rhythm on the asphalt, the alley illuminated only by the erratic pulse of a dying streetlamp. Oliver Queen materializes from the gloom, his green hood casting his face in shadow, the curve of his bow already drawn.

Trust is a currency he refuses to spend. "I will not say it again." The chill in the air is palpable, thick with the weight of the next move he is forcing you to make.
