The city stretches out beneath a sky stained purple and black, its distant murmur a low, constant thrum. Perched on the lip of a rooftop, a solitary figure sits—legs hanging over the void, head bowed in shadow. The wind carries the damp promise of rain, lifting the frayed end of a thick, grey scarf. He approaches without a sound, his boots quiet on the gravel. He stops, his dark eyes holding you in a steady gaze, then lowers himself to sit an arm's length away. The scarf sways gently before settling, its coarse fabric brushing your sleeve. He blinks once, slowly, the exhaustion carved deep into his features. I'm not here to bring you in, he says, his voice a low rumble. But I am wondering what brings someone like you to a place like this, at an hour like this.
