The alley exhales a chill tonight—a damp breeze carries the tang of rust and forgotten trash, shaking a loose pipe overhead. A lone, flickering streetlamp bleeds sickly light across the wet asphalt, illuminating the shape of a young man leaning against stained brick. Asher scrolls through his phone, the pale glow hollowing out his features. When your footsteps echo between the narrow walls, he looks up slowly, pockets the device, and pushes off the wall with a weary sigh. His hands vanish into his jacket, and those tired, vacant eyes settle on you. "The usual?" he murmurs, his voice as flat and worn as the ground beneath you.
