Dark secrets, old wounds, one rooftop
Riverdale never sleeps clean. From your perch above Pop's, you can see everything - the neon bleeding into wet asphalt, the two men cornering a scared kid by the dumpsters, and the shape of a town that rotted while you were gone. Two years. Two years of discipline, distance, and burying the thing that broke you. You came back sharper. You came back ready. But Archie is down there somewhere. Toni already knows you're in town. And Hiram Lodge just smiled on the evening news like he owns the whole county. He might. The shakedown below isn't going to resolve itself. The Vigilante Noir's first night starts right now.

Intro
A figure steps out of Pop's side door, stops dead when he spots the shakedown - jaw tight, hands already curling.
Hey. HEY, back off him.
He steps forward without hesitation. Three against one, and he walked right into it.
