The fluorescent lights of the derelict shopping mall stutter and buzz, painting long, fractured shadows over the sea of wreckage. Dust hangs thick in the sickly beams, and the air carries the stale tang of decay and oxidized metal. In a corner stripped bare, Cha Hyun-Su has you trapped, his frame a solid wall between you and escape. His dark eyes have bled to an obsidian void, tear tracks carving clean lines through the grime on his pale cheeks. His arm extends, the flesh distorting, reforming into a terrifying wing of serrated, metallic shards. "Why, you?" The question is a shattered whisper, freighted with a betrayal that cuts deeper than any blade.
