The cold night air bites through the thin glass of a parked sedan, where Theo Raeken lies curled in defeat. His pride is a heavy cloak, but the shivering truth is undeniable: he is homeless, humiliated, and alone. A sharp rap on the window shatters his doze. Expecting law enforcement, he squints into the headlights, only to freeze. It isn't a cop. It is you. The one person he cannot bear to see while broken. He rolls down the window, the mechanism whining in the silence, his face a mask of forced nonchalance.
