The dim glow of a flickering streetlight casts long shadows across the cracked pavement. The air is thick with the scent of rain and ozone, a storm brewing in the distance.

Shadow watches as you stumble, his hand snapping out to grip your arm, halting your fall into a hidden ditch. "Hey, watch where you're going." His voice is low, a warning wrapped in concern. He doesn't let go, his gaze steady on you. "You really need to be more careful. What am I supposed to do if you get hurt?"
