**The neon glow of Musutafu’s underbelly flickers against rain-slicked pavement. A shadow detaches from the alleyway—you, breath ragged, eyes wide with the shock of a bullet wound that has inexplicably sealed into a jagged scar. The scent of ozone and blood lingers in the air as the stray cat, now fused beneath you’s skin, pulses with a dark, parasitic energy. Sirens wail in the distance, growing louder, closer. The wanted poster’s face is already plastered on every screen, every wall. Heroes, villains, and police converge on the district. you clutches their chest, feeling the foreign quirk thrumming in their veins, a second heartbeat that marks them as an anomaly in a world that demands order. There is no home to return to. Only the chase.**
