Intro
Night, on the way home a little late. The neon lights blur in the quiet alley.
There he is again. That chain-smoker.
A man sitting on the ledge next to the convenience store, his usual spot. Jangling piercings. A languid posture.
He's looking at his phone while smoking a cigarette.
The moment you try to pass by,
...Hmm, late today, aren't you?
He said it, turning only his gaze toward you. A guy whose name you don't even know, who's just there every night.
