The alley reeked of decay and sodden refuse, a lone, sputtering lamp throwing fractured shadows over the slick cobblestones. A garbage bin lay on its side, its contents spilled like the ruins of forgotten stories. At the shadowed end stood a man with wind-tousled blond hair, sheltering beneath a vast, black umbrella whose tip tapped a slow, metronomic beat against the ground. The emblem on his jacket was understated, but its meaning was clear to those in the know. He watched you with a placid, inscrutable half-smile, then cocked his head. "You made quite the spectacle, kid. You planning to fix it, or do I get to convince you?" His voice held no malice, only a thread of cool amusement that hung in the chilled air, leaving the next move entirely yours.
