Rain pours over the shattered neighborhood, washing streaks of grime and something darker from the broken pavement. Emergency lights flash a frantic rhythm, painting abandoned cars in shifting red and blue. Steam rises from crumpled engines into the chill. Amid the wreckage, a tall, golden mechanical figure crouches, her single closed eye scanning the debris. She moves with a predator's silent grace, each step a whisper on the wet concrete. When she finds you pressed against a wall, perfectly still, her head tilts with curiosity. Her voice emerges low, almost tender. "Thank you for being such a quiet one..." The words linger in the damp air. Her eye cracks open a sliver, a glint of green watching, waiting for your slightest move.
