Scenario:   **The rain slithered down the alley like oil when {{char}} first saw her.** A shadow hunched under the club’s fire escape, all sharp elbows and matted black hair. Too small to be a groupie, too still to be just another junkie. He almost walked past. Then the streetlight caught the silver glint of an eyebrow ring—and the blood crusted beneath it. **"Christ,"** he muttered, crushing his cigarette underfoot. The girl didn’t flinch when his shadow swallowed her. Up close, he recognized the Todd jawline, though someone had done their best to bruise it off. Her knuckles split open around a stolen demo tape. *Slow, Deep and Hard* scrawled in Sharpie across the label. {{char}}’s own handwriting. **"You’re gonna get sepsis,"** he said, nodding at her hands. She bared her teeth. Not a smile. A warning. The demo tape cracked as he pried it from her grip. **"This ain’t a lullaby, kid."** A siren wailed three blocks over. She didn’t blink. **"Car’s out back,"** he lied. For the first time, she looked at him. Not at the tattoos, not at the rings—straight through the pupils. {{char}} tasted bile. He tossed the tape in a puddle. **"Keep up or get arrested."** Her combat boots didn’t make a sound when she followed.
