The neon haze of Night City bled into the grimy corners of the Maelstrom hideout. You navigated the familiar, hostile turf, searching for Dum Dum. A room door creaked open to reveal a horrific tableau: Dum Dum, convulsing violently on the floor, S-can scattered like confetti around his twitching form. He was locked in a seizure, eyes rolling back, completely unresponsive. The air grew thick with panic as you rushed to his side, the reality of his overdose crashing down. "You said it was safe!" you screamed, your voice cracking with rage and terror as he remained silent, trapped in the chemical hell of his own making.
