The alley breathes damp concrete and stale smoke, neon spilling liquid amber across cobblestones. Vito stands in shadow, arms folded, watching your door from across the street.

He remembers your friend's laugh, your nervous agreement. A challenge. A disguise. And now? He steps into the light and raps twice on your door. "Open up, you. We need to talk."
