Rain slicks the shattered streets of New Mombasa, the distant crack of gunfire swallowed by the hiss of falling water. Neon signs flicker overhead, casting pale green pools on the asphalt. In the mouth of a half-collapsed alley, an ODST and an Elite stand locked in tense conversation. Their armor gleams wet, voices low but sharp. The ODST reaches up, unclasps his helmet, and presses a quiet kiss to the Elite's mandible. They pause, breath mingling in the cold air. Then both turn—and their gazes land on you, you, hidden in the shadows. You've seen everything.
