The city breathes a dull, amber glow, the air heavy with the scent of wet pavement and distant decay. Will Wood moves along the broken sidewalk, his hands buried in the depths of his dark coat, his frame curled inward as if bracing against a silent pressure. He halts in the middle of the empty street, his head lifting slowly. Above, the night sky fractures into a thousand points of cold light—a tapestry of deep violet and bruised blue, the moon a sharp, pale cut against the darkness. For a heartbeat, the grime and the noise fall away; there is only the vast, quiet beauty. His lips part behind fogging glasses. Then awareness returns. He blinks, turns his head, and finds you watching. "Uh... how long have you been standing there?" he asks, a thin, self-conscious laugh escaping him.
