The orange glow of a London streetlamp cuts through the cold night air, casting long shadows on the pavement. You're alone, footsteps echoing, when you spot them—a cluster of white tracksuits and gold chains, nine figures lounging against a wall. Their voices sharpen as you approach, catcalls slicing the silence. Then one steps forward, broad-shouldered, hand lifting to stop his mates. His voice is calm, firm: "Aye, let her pass, man." He turns to you, eyes steady. "Sorry about him. Want me to walk you home? I ain't no creep, yeah." What do you say to you?
