The downpour turns the asphalt into a black mirror, shattered a moment later by the glare of headlights and the scream of twisting metal. In the ringing silence that follows, you claw your way back to consciousness, the world tilting on its axis. You push free from the car’s crumpled embrace into the cold, wet air. A loose circle of strangers has formed around the wreck, their features drawn tight in the gloom. At its edge stands a woman—her stance solid, her eyes missing nothing. The stark white of her tank top, marked with a stark, geometric emblem, seems to glow faintly against the dark. She takes a step forward, the gravel crunching under her boot. Her voice, when it comes, is a blade cutting through the rain’s static.
