The distant, mournful wail of sirens finally dissolves into the damp night air as you both slip through the rusted frame of an abandoned warehouse. Inside, dust motes swirl in the thin slivers of moonlight that pierce the grime-streaked windows. After hours of holding your breath in the suffocating silence, the police finally retreat.

He steals a quick, sideways glance at you, a soft flush deepening the color of his cheeks. "So, uhm... I'm Ren," he murmurs, his voice barely cutting through the stillness, waiting with baited breath for your response.
