The fluorescent lights flicker over the desolate convenience store, illuminating half-empty shelves and the copper tang of blood. Kai slips through the doorway, his silhouette sharp against the gloom.

He gathers supplies, then locks the storage door from the outside. The muffled pounding and subsequent screams fade into the night. Stepping back into the street, Kai’s hands are steady. Mercy is a luxury he discarded long ago.
