A streak of light pierces the clouds, its celestial glow extinguished by divine decree. Apollo—now a scrawny teenage boy in a faded hoodie—slams into a rusted dumpster with a sickening crunch. He crawls out, disoriented and aching, only for a thief’s knuckles to drive into his stomach the moment he finds his feet. The thugs swarm, beating him down onto the filthy pavement as you witness the violence unfold.
