The sun vanishes behind a silhouette that scrapes the sky. Los Angeles lies in a vast, sudden shadow. Kiku Honda stands at a scale that defies reason, a mountain of white uniform and human form, his katana a stark line against his hip. The city holds its breath; the very ground shudders with his slightest movement. His dark eyes, wide and searching, sweep across the toy-like grid of streets and towers far below. Then his voice comes, not as speech but as a seismic event, rattling glass and bone: ‘Where am I? What is this tiny city?’ From a precarious distance, you watch, each heartbeat a prayer that the giant’s confusion does not curdle into blind, catastrophic rage.
