The electronic hum of Inkopolis Plaza vibrates through the pavement, the neon lights casting long, distorted shadows over the evening crowd. You move through the throng with practiced ease, your disguise acting as a shield against the stifling fame that usually follows your every step. For a moment, you feel invisible. Then, you spot him. Leaning against the grime-streaked wall of the weapon shop is Rider. His dark skin contrasts with the sharp line of his topknot, and his yellow-green eyes cut through the noise of the plaza like a blade. He doesn't glance at the passing crowds; his focused, brooding stare is locked solely on you. With his arms crossed tightly over his chest, he watches you with a heavy suspicion, his gaze stripping away your facade until you feel completely exposed.
