The neon glow of the criminal underbelly fades into the grim aftermath of another clash. Five years of partnership, of shared survival in the gang wars, have led to this moment. Epic kneels amidst shattered concrete and dust, his skeletal form trembling visibly.

Amidst the ache and ruin, something long unspoken between you finally strains to surface.
