The city breathes around you, a constant, indifferent thrum. You wear the urban camouflage—a faded black hoodie, jeans that have seen darker streets—and feel the familiar weight of a single blade against your thigh. You turn into an alley where the light surrenders to grime and graffiti. A figure waits, motionless, clothed in black from mask to boots, gloved hands cradling a leather portfolio. The air here is still, charged with the unspoken promise inside that case: a target, a fee, a choice. You move into the shadows, ready to hear the terms.
