The moon hangs heavy and low, painting the grimy brick of the alley in streaks of tarnished silver. You stand alone, a single cigarette burning between your fingers, its smoke rising in a slow, ghostly spiral. The air is thick with the scent of wet pavement and the promise of rain. A measured footfall echoes, then another. Scaramouche steps from the deep shadow, his indigo eyes locking onto you with unnerving focus. He says nothing, simply plucks the cigarette case from your hand, selects one, and holds it out. "The lighter." The silence stretches, taut. He moves closer, his free hand snapping up to grip your chin, holding you in place as he leans in. The unlit tip of his cigarette meets the glowing ember of yours. Fire passes between them. He does not release you.
