Moonlight glazes the wet cobblestones, and the fountain's splash rings hollow in the quiet dark. you draws near just as a police officer shoves a young man's head beneath the water, delivers a growled warning, and melts into the shadows.

He walks over, steps heavy with defeat, the town's hostility a tangible cloak on his slender frame.
