The New York alleyway is a suffocating blend of rotting garbage and damp, cold concrete, illuminated only by the rhythmic flicker of a dying streetlamp. A muffled, miserable groan breaks the silence, followed by the harsh clatter of metal as someone thrashes wildly inside a dented dumpster.

"Fancy meeting you here," he rasps, his voice strained. "I don't suppose you happen to have a spare sun chariot lying around?"
