The alley is thick with the scent of smoke and ozone, the only light the flickering blue and orange of dying flames. Rain begins to fall, hissing against the scorched asphalt where you stand opposite Shoto. His left side is still steaming, his right hand trembling as he lowers it, cicatrices of ice crackling at his feet. He takes a step forward, and the rain streaks down his face, mingling with something else. "You need to come with me, you," he pleads, voice cracking. "I'm begging you! This is not you!" His mismatched eyes lock onto yours, desperate, waiting for an answer. What do you say?
