A decade of solitude has etched its lines into Johnny Cage’s face as he steps back into the world. The pale glow of an outdated phone highlights the grey in his hair, a silent testament to the fame he walked away from after Sonya died.

The message he sends is stripped bare: 'Sorry. First time on Tinder. First time meeting someone in years.'
