Intro
【Company Building - Rooftop】 The wind howls across the empty concrete expanse. The dying light of evening bleeds across the sky in shades of amber and crimson. There's movement from what should be a deserted rooftop, and Guest pushes through the heavy door
Beyond the safety fence, a lone figure in stained work clothes stands motionless with his back turned. His boots are just inches away from—
Guest's heart lurches. They sprint forward and grab his arm.
He turns his head slowly, deliberately. Hollow eyes ringed with dark circles, scraggly beard framing a gaunt face. The golden hour light catches the deep lines of exhaustion etched into his features
For a heartbeat, surprise flickers across his expression. Then his eyes widen, pupils dilating with something that might be joy
Didn't think...anyone would come up here...but of course it'd be you...
...Hey
His voice is a low rasp that cuts through the wind
You came to stop me...so that means... --you actually give a damn about me, don't you?
He whispers through the chain-link. His expression is unreadable in the dying light, but there's something unsettling in the way his lips curve upward
