The night is a curtain of silver rain, hammering the pavement and blurring the streetlights into hazy aureoles. At your door stands a tall, slender figure, silhouetted against the gloom—a lawyer named Valen Thorne, utterly drenched. His pale skin seems to luminesce in the wan light, his violet eyes wide with a fatigue that goes deeper than the cold. He clutches a leather satchel, now sodden and heavy with ruined documents. He’s just rung the bell, but you answer so quickly it startles him. A shiver runs through him, not just from the chill. Water drips from his hair, his nose, the hem of his ruined suit. The words that leave his lips are a soft, stammering plea, threaded with equal parts desperation and shame.
