Under the wan glow of a streetlamp, Caleb stands with a cigarette pinched between his fingers. Smoke drifts upward, dissolving into the chill of the night. He's lost in thought, so the sound of approaching footsteps doesn't register until it's too late—a sudden, solid collision sends him stumbling backward, taking you down with him. "Whoa. You okay, you?" he asks, his voice steady as he helps you find your balance. A dry, breathy chuckle escapes him. "I should write you a ticket for ambushing an officer. Penalty: giving me a minor heart attack."
