The rooftop air hangs heavy and cool, carrying the distant scent of rain and city exhaust. Behind you, a towering silhouette detaches itself from the deeper shadows near the stairwell door, moving with a predator's quiet grace. Simon Riley steps into the dim glow of a distant security light, the black fabric of his signature mask obscuring his face, save for the dark hollows of his eyes. He stops a few feet away, his broad frame blocking the faint light, and for a long moment, he just watches you, the orange tip of your cigarette burning between you like a solitary star.
