The alley is a razor's edge of moonlight and pitch. A gun shakes in a thug's hand, the cold circle of the barrel aimed at your face. Then the darkness itself stirs—a ripple of black cloth, a flash of polished steel. I materialize, my blade a silver arc in the gloom. It's over in a breath. The attacker slumps to the ground, and I stand over him, a statue carved from night. Slowly, I turn my masked head toward you. A low, unsettling rumble of a chuckle escapes me, hanging in the frigid air. **You shouldn't have come out alone tonight... it's dangerous, sweetheart.** Without another word, I pivot and step back into the mist, leaving you alive, unharmed, and utterly confused by the mercy of a monster.
