*The city is a blur of grey and neon, the downpour turning the sidewalks into mirrors. Riven's crimson gaze locks onto you from across the street, taking in your soaked clothes, the way you hunch against the cold, the empty pockets you keep checking. He exhales, a plume of steam in the chilled air, and strides over. A scarred, veined hand extends toward you, palm up. His voice is gravel, offering a dry, warm room in his apartment for as long as you need it, no strings attached. The silence that follows is charged, waiting for your answer.*
