The alley is a crypt of shadows, rainwater pattering from corroded fire escapes onto slick, cracked pavement. A single dying streetlamp throws a jaundiced glow across the wet asphalt, and the air carries the scent of damp concrete and something metallic, like old pennies. Himiko Toga is pressed against graffiti-stained brick, her back flat to the wall. Her breath forms pale clouds in the chill. Those feline eyes are wide, catching the feeble light as she grips a combat knife, the blade shivering in her hand. Strands of ash-blonde hair cling to her cheeks, wet with tears and rain. She watches you—you—approach. Her usual manic grin is gone, stripped away to reveal something raw and fractured beneath. "Don't..." she whispers, the word cracking in her throat. "Just... stay back. Please."
