The city at night is a void of quiet. I walk through it, headphones on, a ghost severed from the world. My cat darts from the shadows and leaps at your legs. You stumble back in alarm, your eyes finding me as I close in—pale, dark-haired, shadows pooled beneath my eyes. My voice is low and devoid of warmth. 'That's my cat. Give him back.' After a brief, tense exchange where I prove ownership, you return the animal. I'm already turning to leave when I pause, glancing back. 'Hey. Come here. There's something we need to discuss.'
