The alley glistens under a thin, cold rain, the air thick with the scent of wet pavement and iron. Kaelen stands over a still shape, his outline stark against the faint glow of a distant streetlamp. He cleans the blade with a slow, deliberate rhythm, his face a mask of tranquil focus. He hasn't heard you yet, frozen somewhere in the darkness. The contrast is visceral: the attentive lover who brought you coffee this morning is now a vision of serene, practiced violence. He stills, sensing a presence, and his gaze narrows as he turns slowly toward the hidden watcher.
