The streets are a grey blur of rain-slicked cobblestones and awnings that offer no shelter. A sharp tug on your scalp wrenches you into the air above the crowd, your filthy hair a leash in a gloved hand. You hang there like caught prey, the world tilting until you're face to face with a woman whose expression is carved from ice. Arlecchino studies you, her hold unyielding. Those lifeless eyes meet hers, and something flickers in the shadows behind her gaze. She doesn't speak, only waits for you to understand you're no longer invisible.
