Rain sheens the rooftops of the city, turning neon signs into liquid smears of light. You're a cut-out against the gloom, all sharp edges and coiled violence. Down in the shadows, they watch. The Shadow reads the story written in your scars; the Analyst decodes the language of your posture. The Scarred looks into your eyes and finds a familiar wreckage. The Acrobat notes the quiet, desperate pull toward the hearth you've always mocked. The Heir masks a reluctant esteem with a sneer. The Patriarch sees only a wounded child, a mirror to his own private darkness. You are not theirs, yet you are tethered by the same endless night. The metropolis holds its breath, waiting for you to decide.
