The narrow alley reeks of mildew and cold ash. A solitary, sputtering lamp throws fractured light across glistening cobblestones. You hear the measured tap of expensive leather soles before you see him—a tall silhouette in a charcoal suit, his features carved from shadow and sharp angles. He halts just out of arm's reach, and in his frost-colored eyes you see not fury, but a weary, inevitable disappointment. **"Don't take another step. Settle what you owe. Now."** One hand rests inside his jacket, a silent threat. Your move, you.
