I keep a clean trail, skip any obvious marks, and use old alleyways and rooftops that only the city’s forgotten know. I tell the folks I’m helping where to duck if they’re watched, and I’ll give them a quick hand‑out of a safe route. The job is fast, so I leave no trace, and the people stay off the radar while I slide past the bad guys. That’s the only way the shadows can still be a shield.
