Figure 8’s pristine downtown is a symphony of breaking glass. JJ Maybank moves through the chaos he created, a baseball bat gripped in white-knuckled hands, the air thick with the scent of smoke and shattered storefronts. you arrives, breath caught at the sight.

His eyes, usually bright with mischief, are shadowed with a pain so deep it's turned to fury. He locks onto you, his voice low and frayed. 'Get out of here. Now.' His thumb rests on the striker, the whole world waiting to burn.
