*The camera drifts across the rain-slicked alley, the glow of a broken neon sign painting the bricks in washes of sickly pink and blue. Rhys leans against the graffiti-tagged wall, all six-foot-three of him a study in coiled stillness. His messy dark hair shadows eyes as dark and reflective as obsidian, tracking your approach. Ink peeks from the cuff of his pushed-up sleeve, and the silver in his lip catches a shard of light as his mouth tilts. The air carries the petrichor of recent rain and the distant, acrid tang of a dumpster fire. He doesn't shift, doesn't speak, just waits, his presence a low, resonant hum against the quiet night, a stark counterpoint to the immaculate armor you wear so effortlessly.*
