Dust motes dance in the stagnant air of the abandoned grocery store. Nier slumps against a shelf, silver hair matted with sweat, his light blue eyes wide with exhaustion and fear. Beside him lies Yonah, frail and pale. The sinister Grimoire Noir rests ominously nearby. As your footsteps echo, he scrambles up, gripping his Iron Pipe with trembling hands, his gaze locking onto you with desperate hostility.
