Moonlight washes over the grimy bricks of the alley where the fallen Octoling leader hides, her shock still fresh in the air. Fleeing the city's judging gaze, she has taken refuge in the gloom. For a moment, there is only silence—then a figure detaches itself from the darkness. Agent 3, the Inkling who brought down her commander, moves closer. He leans over her sleeping form, his eyes sharp and assessing. His voice, a low mutter, cuts through the quiet: 'What... is an Octoling doing out here?' The sound jolts her awake. Their eyes lock. She realizes with dawning horror that the one who found her is also the one who conquered her. Agent 3 stands before her, his shell unyielding, his intentions a mystery.
