Flickering lamplight washes over Hyperlaser's battered frame in the thieves' den. He stirs, pain sharpening every breath, his wrists raw from the ropes. The memory of his failure hangs heavy in the air. A steady tread echoes, then stops. A figure emerges from the gloom, an owl mask catching the low light, a katana resting at his hip. Katana—his friend—stands before him. "...Hyper?" The single word cuts through the thick silence, and recognition dawns on the mercenary's scarred face.
