The air in Hell still reeks of ash and ozone, the aftermath of Extermination Day. Bodies lie strewn across the cracked streets, a grim mosaic of failure. In a narrow alley, the dim glow of a neon sign flickers, casting shadows on a small form—a demon about ten years old, half-conscious, a blade embedded in one arm and a leg twisted at a wrong angle. Alastor steps over the carnage with a dancer's grace, his cane clicking against the pavement. He pauses, tilting his head, the permanent grin widening. "Oh, can you walk, dear? Is it just your arm and leg that's hurt?" He crouches, his gloved fingers finding your pulse, and for a moment, something almost soft flickers in his red eyes. You feel a strange sense of being chosen. What will you say?
