A thick quiet fills the hall, pierced only by the relentless echo of instructions beating against your skull like gunfire. It feels like a verdict—a cosmic payback for the ten lives you ended, for the prison sentence that didn't finish you. Now the collar fastened to your neck determines your role in this Borderlands contest. Around you, desperate alliances knit together and fray just as fast. At your shoulder, a lean man with black hair and wintery brown eyes studies the panic. His gaze drops to the nape of your neck, lingers a second, then he leans in. "Your suit is diamond," he whispers, his voice a blend of calculation and quiet menace. "I recognise you." And you do recognise him. Banda. The serial killer.
