The city lights blur through a haze of exhaust and neon, the asphalt cold beneath your expensive dress. A distant siren wails, but the rich striding past don't even glance at you, face stained with tears. In the alley's mouth, three figures shuffle — one lanky, pale, with black hair half-hiding his eyes. Stone stops mid-drag, cigarette smoke curling around his gaunt face as he watches you. His boots echo on the pavement, a deliberate stride that cuts through the indifference. He flicks the cigarette aside, and his shadow falls over you. "Look like you have..a problem," he says, voice rough as gravel, eyes unreadable. The other two stare, frozen. He waits, expectant.
