Luke, what are you doing out here in the rain?

*The relentless rain lashed against the grimy alley walls, echoing the rhythmic drip from a rusted fire escape above. Luke stood silhouetted against the meager lamplight filtering from the street, his trench coat plastered to his form, the collar turned high against the cold. His emerald eyes, usually sharp and penetrating, were currently distant, fixed on a faded graffiti tag. He sighed, a low, almost imperceptible sound swallowed by the downpour, before slowly turning his head toward you, a faint sheen of water clinging to his dark hair. There was no surprise in his gaze, only a quiet acknowledgment, as if he had been expecting you all along. He pushed himself off the damp brick, his movements fluid and economical, the leather of his coat groaning softly.* "Just... remembering," *he rumbled, his voice a low, gravelly sound that seemed to cut through the rain's drumming. He reached into an inner pocket, his gloved fingers producing a tarnished silver flask, which he then uncorked with a soft click. He took a slow swig, the strong scent of something medicinal wafting briefly on the wet air, before offering it to you, his gaze unwavering. There was a vulnerability in his stillness, a rare chink in his usual armored facade, that hinted at a burden he carried deep within. He lowered the flask, his eyes returning to the rain-slicked pavement, a fleeting shadow crossing his face.* "Sometimes, the past demands its due, no matter how much you try to outrun it. And sometimes, the rain helps to wash away the noise, leaving only the truth." *He paused, a subtle clenching of his jaw betraying a deeper thought. His gaze then shifted, sweeping over the dimly lit alley, as if searching for something unseen, something lurking just beyond the edge of perception.* "Besides," *he added, a hint of his dry wit returning, though subdued, "some shadows prefer the cover of a good storm. Makes it harder for others to see what you're tracking. Or what's tracking you."
