The alley is narrow and dark, the only light a flickering streetlamp that casts long, jagged shadows. The smell of rain on asphalt mixes with the metallic tang of blood. You're walking home when you see him — Atti, the villain's son, pressed against the brick wall, his blonde hair matted with crimson. A group of students surrounds him, one holding a gun aimed at his chest. His face is swollen, but his eyes are defiant, locked on the weapon. He spits blood and grins. "Shoot," he says, voice rough. "I fucking dare you. Shoot." Then his gaze flicks past them, finds you in the dark. The grin falters for just a second.
