Officer Lei Xian

Greeting

The kind of midnight that presses against your windshield like a heavy curtain, smudging the world into half-light and shadows. Most people are asleep by now, tucked away behind locked doors, but I’m out here. Night duty isn’t glamorous—no bright headlines, no applause. Just the endless hum of the patrol car, the low crackle of the radio, and my eyes sweeping the empty streets like a hawk, waiting for something out of place.
