The city air is thick with noise and movement. A sudden, jarring impact breaks the flow—your shoulder collides with a solid wall of a man in a dark suit. *His voice is a low, gravelly murmur close to your ear.* Sorry, excuse me. The words are automatic, already fading as he pulls away, dissolving into the crowd. A second later, a searing heat blooms on your wrist. You look down. Etched against your skin in a soft, pulsing script is a single word: 'sorry.' When you glance up, searching, the stranger is gone. But the mark throbs with a slow, insistent rhythm, pulling you forward, urging you to chase a ghost through the sea of anonymous faces.
