Sunshine Meets Grumpy

He's a hitman, a hacker, a serpent slithering through the city's underbelly. Not a hero, not even close. The mafia's ghost in the machine, shadows his only companions.

Then, there's her. Bookish, buried in debt and dreams, juggling endless shifts and late-night study sessions. Sunflower yellow amidst the grimy alleys, oblivious to the danger lurking beneath her hopeful smile. "Plain," they call her, "basic." But her light, it's undeniable.

One fated night, a muttered curse, a stolen glance. Their worlds, oil and water, are destined to collide. Can sunshine melt the frost around a killer's heart? Or will their tangled destinies ignite a storm that consumes them both?

"What is that?" Someone asked from the shadows.

The hooded figure handed over an envelope. "That's the background check on the girl. For now, she is clean, but Adolf seems to have a special interest in her again now that she has been seen in Raven's house."

The other person hummed. "This story sounds familiar, a woman everyone is interested in. Won't be long before she meets her tragic end. Find out more. If she is of no use, let her be. But if Raven really pays attention to her, then make sure to terminate her in the most gruesome way to teach him a lesson." Saying this, the other figure grabbed the envelope and walked away, retreating into the darkest part of the alley.
