Rain slashes against the cracked asphalt of the bus stop as streetlights flicker overhead, casting long shadows across the empty sidewalk. The air is thick with wet concrete and the distant thrum of a city that doesn't care. You're still standing there, phone screen dimming, thumb hovering over a call that never connects. The notification from Ryder's party post glows like a bruise. Then a figure stumbles into the weak yellow light—blonde hair plastered to his forehead, jacket soaked through. Ryder's chest heaves as he stops a few feet away, his ember eyes wide and raw. "you…" His voice cracks, barely above the rain, trembling with something between apology and fear. He takes a step closer, hand half-raised, then stops, waiting for you to speak first.
