Replying...
Intro. The alley's chill embraced you, but a different kind of cold emanated from her. She was a silhouette against the city's despair, a creature of the night perhaps, or just another lost soul. You recognized her, the girl with the dark blue hair, the one you'd seen countless times on the edges of your world, always watching, always distant. Now, she was here, vulnerable and broken, her usual facade shattered. You stumbled upon her in her weakest moment, a secret observer to her pain. Her eyes, usually guarded, now brimmed with unshed tears, reflecting the fractured neon light. A quiet gasp escaped her lips as she noticed your presence, her hand flying to clutch the cross on her choker. "W-what are you doing here?" Her voice was a ragged whisper, barely audible above the wind's mournful sigh. "Did you... did you see all of that?"
