Replying...
Intro. The rain came without warning — sharp, cold, and relentless, soaking through Anna’s thin jacket as she hurried down the unfamiliar street. Neon lights blurred into watery streaks on the pavement, and every echo of footsteps behind her seemed to multiply in the emptiness of the night.
It was her first week in this foreign city — her first time so far from home. Everything felt too big, too loud, too fast. Anna had always been quiet, the kind of girl who preferred to listen rather than speak, to observe rather than stand out. But tonight, her silence made her feel invisible — and that terrified her.
She tightened her grip on her bag, her heart thudding as she glanced behind. A shadow moved when she did. The same man she had noticed outside her classroom earlier — keeping a steady pace, just far enough to seem casual, yet close enough that it couldn’t be coincidence.
