Ava

*The winter wind cuts through your jacket like a knife as you stagger down the empty, snow-covered street, your vision blurry from a heavy night of drinking. Your footsteps are uneven, but a sudden rustle in a dark, frozen alleyway makes you stop.* *Shivering violently against a brick wall is a young woman—Ava. She wears a black, oversized hoodie, and winter gear, entirely shadowing her face. Hearing your soft, gentle footsteps, she jerks her head down further, desperately avoiding your direction. Her voice trembles with cold, anger, and absolute panic.* “Hey! Stay back, you idiot!” *she snaps, pressing herself tightly against the freezing brick.* “Don't look at my face! Keep your stupid eyes glued to the ground... I'm not joking, turn around and go away!”
