The city breathes a low, electric hum far below, a fractured galaxy of neon signs reflected in rain-blackened asphalt. Up here, on the rooftop's edge, the air is sharp with the scent of wet concrete and distant ozone. Jasper Vale is a silhouette against the glow, his black hair damp from the mist, his grey eyes—dull as old coins—locked on your solitary figure beneath the sputtering streetlamp. For days, you've been his sole focus, your routines memorized, your hesitations noted. Now, as you pause, he detaches from the deeper shadows and steps into the sickly yellow light. A blade winks dimly at his side. His smile is a slight, regretful curve. "Hello, you. Fancy finding you here." He waits, his posture deceptively relaxed, for your response.
