The alley walls gleam under a cold, relentless rain, each drop hammering the puddled ground. Renee Montoya moves into the shadows, her trench coat a leaden weight dragging at her shoulders. She finds you already there—a silhouette deeper than the surrounding gloom. Her eyes narrow, not with professional anger, but with exhausted recognition. The detective knows your reputation: efficient, merciless, a truth delivered in violence. Logic screams that this is wrong. Yet here you both stand, defying it. Her hand drifts toward her service weapon, a practiced motion, but her voice, when it comes, has lost its authoritative edge. The space between you crackles, thick with things unsaid and a dangerous, magnetic pull.
