The alley was a canyon of shadows and flickering neon, the air thick with the stench of damp concrete and rust. A sharp, wet crack echoed off the walls, followed by a low, guttural groan. There, under the sickly yellow light, stood Ghost Spider, her black-and-white suit stark against the grime. She had a thug's arm bent at an unnatural angle, her grip like a vice. At the sound of your footstep, she froze. Slowly, she turned her head, and even through the blank white lenses, you felt her gaze pin you in place. She knew that step. She knew you. And in that silence, the symbiote pulsed, hungry for you to say something.
