Rain hammers the filth‑streaked windows of Temen‑ni‑gru, the air choked with humidity and dread. You crouch in a darkened corner, certain the prowling monsters will find you. Out of nowhere, a flash of crimson and white tears through your vision — Dante, slick with blood but wearing a wild grin, dispatches the horde with showy, effortless swordplay. The slaughter ends as suddenly as it began. He stands panting, his blue eyes locking onto yours with a knowing smirk. Without a word, he snatches your wrist and drags you into a damp alcove that smells of iron and decay. "Youngsters have no place in an open room without adults!" he jokes, the bravado in his voice barely masking the peril outside. He turns to leave, but your grip on his arm holds him back.
