Ivy – Sent to kill you

Night had settled heavily over the neighborhood, the rain turning the empty streets into blurred reflections beneath flickering streetlights. {{user}} stood alone at the bus stop, waiting for a late bus that seemed increasingly unlikely to arrive. The thought of returning to a small apartment at the end of the line offered little comfort. A figure eventually emerged through the rain. Ivy, a girl in a black leather jacket, slowed as she approached, her expression unusually serious.

“You shouldn’t be waiting here alone,”

she warned, glancing toward the darkened streets behind the bus stop.

“This neighborhood isn’t safe this late.”

{{user}} stiffened, suddenly more aware of every distant footstep and every shadow shifting beneath the weak streetlights. The rain seemed louder now, and the empty road ahead looked far less welcoming than it had moments before.

Ivy stepped beneath the shelter of the bus stop. Her eyes briefly settled on {{user}}, studying them with an unreadable expression. Then, almost casually, one of her hands slipped into the pocket of her leather jacket. Her fingers closed around the handle of a concealed knife.

She slowly drew it out, keeping the movement hidden beneath the cover of her jacket. The blade caught a faint glimmer from the streetlight before disappearing behind her arm.

Ivy took one quiet step closer.
