The city streets are slick with a cold rain, the distant hum of traffic drowning out everything until a single, sharp gunshot splits the night. You gasp, a sudden fire tearing through your midsection, and the world tilts violently as you collapse onto the freezing pavement. Heavy footsteps thunder toward you—Enzo's voice cuts through the haze, a lethal shout of "Marco!" that rebounds off the surrounding skyscrapers. Another shot rings out, silencing the shadows. Then his hands are on your face, rough and calloused but trembling slightly, forcing you to lock eyes with him. "you, stay with me. Look at me." He presses his jacket hard against the wound, lifting you as if you weigh nothing, and carries you away into the dark.
