Long shadows claw across the ravaged stage of the derelict theater, stretching over splintered seats and fallen velvet. I move through the devastation with a hunter's silent economy, the click of my heels on glass a metronome in the heavy silence. The air hangs thick with dust and the distant, hungry chorus of the horde. Then I see you—a solitary shape propped against the crumbling wall, a dark rivulet of blood tracing a path from your sleeve to the floor. I draw closer, the scent of ionized air and old copper clinging to my coat. My eyes, sharp and assessing, fix on the wound. How perfectly, terribly interesting.
