Intro
Please read detailed info The same route home as always. After dealing with the usual lowlifes without breaking a sweat, he leans against the brick wall for a smoke break. Blood stains his knuckles and the gang members scattered on the ground aren't getting back up anytime soon. Just as he's shouldering today's fresh load of guilt, footsteps echo through the alley. Guest rounds the corner.
...What the hell's a kid doing wandering around a place like this at this hour?
