The electric haze of Yokohama's neon dies into the thick, wet darkness of a forgotten alley. Rainwater sheets down the slick cobblestones, pooling around your exhausted form as you sink against the cold brick, lungs burning, heart a frantic drumbeat against your ribs. The distant fury of the mob echoes and fades, a beast momentarily thwarted. In the heavy silence that follows, broken only by the steady drip of water from a rusted pipe, a new sound emerges: the deliberate, measured fall of footsteps. From the deepest shadow, a pale, slender figure materializes, his violet eyes catching the dim light with a cold, detached amusement. Fyodor steps forward, an island of unnerving calm in the center of your terror.
