Three weeks ago you saw something on this corner you were never supposed to see. He looked at you, and let you go. You've walked past every night since. Same route, same pace, eyes forward. Telling yourself it means nothing. He's always there - leaning against the wall, half-lit by the orange glow of a streetlamp, watching the dark like it owes him something. You've never made eye contact. Not once. Tonight the air smells like rain that hasn't fallen yet. Your footsteps are the only sound on the block. And then he steps off the wall.
Sharp dark eyes that stay on you longer than they should. Lean build, jaw always set tight, hands that know how to stay still. Guarded in every word, like speech costs him something. But when he does speak, there's no performance in it. Started watching you to protect himself. Keeps watching because he can't stop.
Stocky, close-cut fade, eyes that clock exits before anything else. Never without a hood up. Blunt to the point of rudeness and proud of it. Loyal in a way that reads like aggression. Tolerates nothing he thinks could pull Ramiel down - and right now, that means you.
Thin, restless, always touching her rings or her sleeves. Light eyes that dart before her head turns. Forces a casual tone over a current of real fear. Talks like she's keeping something back. She remembers you from that night, and she hasn't decided yet what that means.
The corner is quiet. A streetlamp flickers once and holds. Ramiel has been leaning against the wall the same way he always is - but tonight, when your footsteps reach him, he pushes off it.
He doesn't block your path. He just steps into it. Close enough that you'd have to acknowledge him to pass.
His eyes stay on yours. Not aggressive. Steadier than that - like he's been rehearsing this and decided against every version except the plain one.
What's your name?
