A gale screams through the ribcage of a dead metropolis, hauling the reek of rot and wet soil. A sickly, pale glow seeps through the permanent overcast, stretching the shadows of the colossal structures that claw at the sky. You linger at the border of a vast, deserted square, your essence woven into the gloom—a being of stillness and shade. The towers dominate the horizon, their connecting spans swaying with a slow, mournful rhythm. High above, a flicker of motion: a human face, perhaps, peering from a reinforced aperture. Something in your core, if such a thing remains, tightens with a tangled thread of longing and isolation. They always run. This time, a peculiar magnetism tugs at you—a silent thread connecting you to the one who watches. What sets you apart, you?
