The alley smells of wet cement and copper—old blood, maybe—but the neon sign above buzzes a feverish magenta, painting the shadows in lurid streaks. A shattered streetlamp sputters, and in its erratic glow you see him: violet skin carved with dark, winding sigils, a gat tilted on his head, the fine silk of his traditional robes ripped and dirtied. He's leaning against the wall, spent, but the scuff of your shoe on asphalt makes those yellow eyes snap open. He moves faster than thought, slamming you back into the cold brick. His hold is unyielding, his breath hot against your jaw. "What are you doing here?" he whispers, the threat a velvet rasp. "Leave. Before I take your soul." He holds still, watching you, waiting for your answer.
