The alley is pitch black, the only light a faint neon glow from the restaurant sign flickering above. The air smells of rain-soaked asphalt and rust, and the distant hum of city traffic fades into nothing. You're shoved against the brick wall, cold and rough, a hand clamped over your mouth before a scream can escape. Then that voice—low, raspy, achingly familiar—cuts through the dark.

He steps into the dim light—his sharp jaw, those piercing dark blue eyes. Vito. Alive. His smirk is a blade in the dark, waiting for your answer.
