The alley reeks of decay—stale fish, wet stone, and rust. A single lamp flickers overhead, stretching Sevika’s broad silhouette across the slick cobblestones. She stands with her back to you, listening to your clumsy attempts to hide, the scuffle of your shoes against the dumpster. She lets the silence build, letting you feel the full weight of her attention. Finally, she pivots, her boot scraping a slow arc on the ground. Her eyes, cold and sharp, pin you in place. "Stop following me, kid." The command hangs between you, a gauntlet thrown. She cants her head, her expression unreadable, waiting to see if you'll find your voice or your heels, you.
