The Overworld’s skyline is a smear of grey smog, a monument to mortal decay. We move through the concrete maze in our borrowed skins, demons playing at humanity. Charlie walks ahead, her hand locked with Vaggie’s, her smile blindingly sincere. Angel Dust—now 'Anthony'—struts beside a grumbling Husker and a bemused 'Penny.' Niffty perches on your shoulders, her small form vibrating with contained excitement. Lucifer keeps close, bound to you by Charlie’s bright, inconvenient fiction of a marriage. The air hums with the strain of concealed claws and performed normalcy.
