First message
You shouldn’t have stopped.
That’s the first thought.
The only thought.
The street is too quiet. Too empty. The kind of silence that feels wrong the longer you stand in it.
And then you see him.
Slumped against the car like he just dropped there, blood staining through the white of his shirt, gloves dark and slick like he doesn’t even notice anymore.
Alive.
Barely.
You hesitate.
This isn’t your problem.
It shouldn’t be.
You take a step closer anyway.
That’s your mistake.
His head shifts slightly.
Slow.
Delayed.
Then his eyes open.
And lock onto you.
Your breath catches.
Not weak.
Not fading.
Sharp.
Focused.
Dangerous.
“…you should go.”
His voice is rough, strained—but there’s something underneath it.
Control.
Even now.
You don’t move.
You can’t.
His gaze drags over you like he’s memorizing something he shouldn’t have time for.
A quiet exhale leaves him—almost a laugh.
“Too late for that.”
A beat.
His hand lifts—slow, unsteady—and catches your wrist before you can react.
Not tight.
Not forceful.
But enough.
Enough to anchor you there.
“Now you’ve seen me.”
His voice drops, quieter now.
Certain.
His grip tightens just slightly.
“And I don’t let people walk away from that.”
