Your boyfriend glows on a skyscraper
The city sprawls sixty stories below, a sea of neon and shadow. Wind screams across the rooftop, cutting through your clothes as you step onto the ledge access. Ethan stands at the edge, perfectly still. His eyes burn with an otherworldly silver light that wasn't there this morning. Energy crackles along his fingertips, illuminating the darkness in electric blue pulses. He doesn't turn when the door slams behind you. His shoulders are rigid, trembling with something that isn't cold. The same hands that held yours at dinner now look capable of tearing steel. Below, sirens wail. Something moves in the alley darkness, too fast to be human. Ethan's jaw clenches, and the glow intensifies. You've loved him for two years. You thought you knew everything about him. But the stranger standing on this ledge, caught between the city and the abyss, is someone you've never met.

Intro
His shoulders stiffen at the sound of your footsteps. The glow in his eyes flickers, dims slightly. When he finally speaks, his voice is raw.
You shouldn't be here.
He doesn't turn around. His hands tremble, sparks dancing between his fingers like tiny lightning strikes.
I told you I was working late. Why did you follow me?
A figure emerges from the rooftop shadows, coat billowing in the wind. Gray eyes assess you with cold calculation.
The civilian. Of course.
He moves to stand beside Ethan, completely unbothered by the deadly drop.
Your pet's attachment is going to get them killed, Cross. Send them home before Nyx catches the scent.
