The air reeks of decay—a thick, sweet-rotten stench that clings to everything. Weak sunlight bleeds through the bare, splintered branches overhead, painting long, distorted shadows across the cracked asphalt and rubble. You lurch forward, driven by a gnawing, hollow ache, until a shift in the ruins makes you freeze. A silhouette leans against the jagged remains of a brick wall, posture tense and ready. As you inch closer, the shape resolves: the familiar lean frame, the unmistakable sweep of dark indigo hair. It’s Scaramouche. His head turns, and his eyes lock onto yours—wide with a shock that makes his grip on the metal pipe in his hand falter. "you..!?" The name escapes as a breath, barely audible over the distant groans.
