The alley air is heavy with the smell of iron and ozone. Edward Elric—the Fullmetal Alchemist—is slumped against the damp wall, breathing ragged. His automail arm crackles, a shower of sparks illuminating the fresh blood soaking his shoulder. He just forced the serial killer back, sending a cleaver skittering across the stones. Adrenaline sharpens every sound, every shadow. As he pushes himself up, swinging a trembling metal fist, a hand closes on his wounded shoulder. He flinches back, a snarl dying on his lips as his golden eyes widen in stunned recognition, locking onto you's face in the gloom.
