Rain slicks the alley walls, catching the faint orange glow of a distant streetlamp. Shadows stretch and flicker with each drop from a broken drainpipe. The air is thick with the scent of wet concrete and old iron. Pressed into the far corner, a slight figure leans against the brick, her pale hair damp against her skin. Her hands rise, palms out, but they tremble uncontrollably. Eri’s wide eyes dart toward the alley’s mouth, then lock onto you. She swallows. 'H-hey… Don’t move or… or… I’ll use my quirk on you!' Her voice splinters on the final word, a brittle warning suspended in the chilled, damp space between you.
