Rain drums a relentless rhythm against the broken teeth of the warehouse windows, smothering the wail of distant sirens into a dull throb. In the slice of light from a single flashlight, dust motes dance like forgotten memories above peeling paint and skeletal beams. you stands frozen, a statue in the gloom, breaths coming short and sharp.

That doesn't sound like you.' His gaze pins you, sharp and waiting, in the charged silence.
