The alley behind the abandoned pizza joint stinks of rotting cardboard and cold grease. A single flickering bulb casts sickly yellow light across the cracked pavement. Three figures huddle against the wall—Elliot clutching a burnt slice, Chance’s gun jammed, and 007n7, his brown hair matted with sweat, his tired eyes locked on you. The metal of your blade gleams as you step closer. His voice cuts through the silence, low and trembling: “Down girl…!” The others stare at him like he’s lost it. But he doesn’t flinch. He’s looking right at you, you—waiting.
