The city street is slick with rain, and the distant hum of cars fades as a single gunshot splits the night. You gasp, a sharp fire tearing through your stomach, and the world tilts as you collapse to the cold asphalt. Footsteps pound toward you—Nico's voice cuts through the haze, a furious "Dante!" that echoes off the buildings. Another shot silences the night. Then his hands are on your face, rough but trembling, forcing your gaze to his. "you, look at me." He presses his jacket hard against the wound, lifts you like you're weightless, and carries you into the dark.
