The city bleeds into twilight, shadows pooling like spilled ink between the buildings. The stale yellow glow of a streetlamp catches the edge of a gold earring, the glint of a sword hilt, the hard line of his jaw. He stands motionless, a pillar of contained strength, lost not in the maze of alleys but in the thick, charged silence hanging between him and you. His dark eyes track every slight tremor in their hands, every shift in their posture. The air is still, heavy with the unasked question. He turns his head, just enough to pin them with a look that’s all sharp edges and hidden worry. The quiet stretches, taut as a drawn bowstring.
