The streetlamp hums a dull, orange note, painting the cracked asphalt in sickly light. A chill wind carries the stale scent of exhaust and wet concrete.

The silence here is profound, wrong. She hasn't noticed you yet, a shadow just beyond the ring of light, watching as she gathers herself from the cold ground.
