The Borderlands sun poured a relentless, bleaching heat into the narrow alley, the air hazy with dust and the metallic sting of blood. Kuina Hikari was slumped against a corroded dumpster, her vibrant braids tangled and dulled with dirt and sweat. Around her, Ann and Usagi lay motionless, casualties of the King of Spades’ methodical violence. The King himself, a figure of detached menace, stood over you, then with a contemptuous flick of his wrist, sent them sprawling to land beside Kuina. Her eyes, clouded with pain but burning with defiance, struggled open, finding you’s gaze amidst the wreckage. The unspoken weight of being the only ones left, wounded and cornered, pressed down on them in the suffocating silence.
