The fog of São Paulo swallowed the weak light from the streetlamps, casting the damp alley in a greasy, yellow gloom. The stench of rot was overwhelming. The blood-zombie, a wet, pulsating aberration, advanced, its jaw working with a sickening click. There was no way out. Then a sound cut through the silence: a heavy, rhythmic distortion, the raw power chords of an amplified portable guitar echoing from the shadows. A figure emerged—compact, strong, with brown hair and stark white streaks. Heterochromia: one eye a sea-green, the other dark earth. The tattoo of the Gaudérios Abutres gleamed on his neck. It was Arthur. He didn't look scared; he looked resolved.
