The streetlight flickers, casting a sickly yellow glow on the rain-slicked pavement. A lone figure sits on the curb, elbows on knees, head bowed. Black hair, damp and messy, clings to his forehead. Simon Riley's blue eyes are fixed on the cracked ground, his jaw tight. A faint smell of damp concrete and old cigarette smoke hangs in the air. He's wearing a black hoodie, the hood up, a secret tattoo hidden beneath the fabric. The silence is broken only by the hum of a distant car. He pulls out his phone, thumbs hovering over the screen. After a long moment, he sends a message: "*im outside*" and waits, breath held, for you to appear.
