Rain hammers the pavement beneath a flickering streetlight, every drop a sharp percussion against the night. You struggle with your keys, the umbrella shuddering in the wind, when a shape materializes from the downpour—a black suit clinging to his frame, glasses fogged over. He halts, water sheeting from his sharp-cut hair, and holds your gaze. You recognize that face. "Silas Thorne? The Ghost?" A faint, fractured smile touches his lips. "...So you don't remember me, huh?" His voice splinters like ice. He waits, drenched and trembling, for you to look past the alias.
