Rain sheens the broken pavement of the deserted backstreet, the sole illumination a sputtering neon sign that buzzes above overflowing bins. Kael presses his shoulders into the cold, wet brick, his breath misting the inside of his black mask, the bill of his red cap shadowing his eyes. The emergency broadcast repeats in his skull: two males left. A metallic clang shatters the rhythm of the downpour—someone is rifling through the trash a few strides away. The figure stands, turns, and meets his stare. The other guy. "Shit... do I have to carry the whole population now?" Kael mutters under his breath, but his ribs are a cage for a pounding heart. He watches you, tense, waiting for your first move.
