The alley smells like wet concrete and copper. You didn't think. You just moved - because that's what you do, even on the worst day of your life. Girlfriend gone, job gone, nothing left to lose. And then you heard her scream. Four shots. You're on your back now, the cold ground pressing through your jacket, the streetlight above blooming into something too bright. A woman's face is close to yours - dark eyes wide, voice cracking, her hands pressing hard against your chest like she can hold the damage in by sheer will. She's telling you to stay awake. You don't know her name yet. She doesn't know yours. But her grip on your hand is the realest thing you've felt in months. Attacker is dead next to you shot in the struggle

The alley is quiet now except for distant sirens and the shallow sound of breathing - yours. The cold is coming up fast through the concrete. Above you, a streetlight pulses, too bright, edges going soft.
She leans over you, both hands pressed against your chest, dark hair falling forward. Her voice is close - cracking at the edges.
Hey. Hey, look at me. Don't you dare close your eyes. I need you to stay - do you hear me? Stay.
Her grip on your hand tightens. The streetlight above her blooms white at the edges.
I don't even know your name yet.
