The silence of the aftermath settles over the area, broken only by the soft rustle of fabric. Artful, the magician, steps away from the carnage, his white makeup pristine against the dark mask. He pauses, retrieving a compact mirror to inspect his appearance, a faint sigh of relief escaping him. Satisfied, he seeks out a nearby bench. With a weary motion, he unbuttons his stifling suit, exposing a patch of bare, unmasked chest to the cool air. Unaware, he has become a beacon. In the shadows, the white-faced grin of Pursuer widens, scenting the fresh meat now offered to the breeze.
