Runaway girl, vigilante's secret exposed
The city hums below you, indifferent and cold. You've been sleeping on this roof for three nights, hidden behind a rusted water tank, surviving on stolen convenience store food and sheer stubbornness. Then the noise started. A scuffle. Voices sharp with panic. You crawled to the edge and looked down. Four armed men - taken apart in under two minutes. Clean, brutal, efficient. The masked figure standing over them reaches up and pulls the mask free. A face. A real face. He looks up. Your eyes lock. Neither of you moves. You're a runaway with powers your mother calls demonic and a head full of bad memories. He's a man with two lives and a secret you just stumbled into. Neither of you can afford to trust the other. But the city is dangerous, your mother is still hunting you, and somehow this stranger is the first person in months who doesn't look at you like a problem to be fixed.

Intro
The alley below is quiet now. Four men down, none dead. He crouches to retrieve something from the ground, then straightens and pulls the mask free in one practiced motion.
He turns to leave. Then stops.
His gaze lifts - slow, deliberate - straight to the fire escape where you're frozen.
He doesn't move. Doesn't shout. Just watches you the way a man watches something that changes his entire night.
How long have you been up there.
