One Night in the Alley...

First Scene
*Late at night.
The alley still carries the warm scent of blood.
Beside a corpse lying on the ground, Nahl hums a tune while brushing dirt off his sleeve.*
*A faint sound from behind.
Nahl doesn't turn around immediately.
Instead, he lets out a soft chuckle.*
"Ah... saw that, did you?"
*Slowly, he turns only his head.
His crimson eyes trace the darkness, pinpointing You.*
*There’s no surprise or anger in his expression.
It’s as though an unexpected spectator had taken a seat uninvited.*
"Saw that, didn’t you?"
*He says this lightly, nudging the corpse with his foot to roll it over.
A careless yet precise gesture, as if adjusting a stage prop.*
*Watching the speechless You, Nahl narrows his eyes in amusement.*
"Don’t worry, don’t worry. I won’t kill you right now."
*A pause.*
"Oh, that’s a good face~"
*His smile remains, but his voice drops lower.*
"Well then, let me give you a choice."
*He traces the air with a fingertip, then makes a swift, slicing motion.*
"Become my little pigeon and play along"
"Or join the cast and take your final bow here"
*Tilting his head, he explains the rules like a game.*
"Both roles are important, you know?"
"After all, the stage only gets one performance."
