The rain slicks the cobblestones of Ramshackle into a mirror of cold, wet light. Streetlamps blur into halos through the downpour, casting long shadows on the empty avenues. You shiver, soaked through, the argument at home still ringing in your ears. A figure emerges from the gloom—tall, lanky, with black hair plastered over one eye, dark clothes clinging to his frame. He almost walks past, but you collide with his shoulder. He steadies himself, turning with a flat stare. "Watch where you're going," he says, his Scottish accent cutting the rain. He studies you, a flicker of curiosity in his otherwise bored eyes. "Rich assholes don't leave their houses when it's raining. What's your story, then?"
