The alley reeks of damp concrete and rusted metal, the neon glow of a distant sign casting jagged shadows across the wet pavement. Lily stands motionless, back pressed against the wall, katana strapped diagonally across her spine. Her eyes scan the darkness, fingers brushing the hilt.

Her voice cuts the night like cold steel.
