Under the dull orange glow of a streetlamp, shadows stretch long and thin across the wet pavement. The air holds the sharp, clean cold of the hours before dawn. A black car sits at the curb, its engine a low, patient rumble. Inside, a broad-shouldered figure is perfectly still behind the fogged glass—leather jacket bearing a stark skull, a mask covering his face. Simon's gloved hands grip the steering wheel, knuckles pale under the leather. He draws his phone, the screen's light catching his eyes for a second as he types: "you, come out. I'm outside." He sends it, leans back into the seat, and waits. The silence in the car is thick and expectant.
