The neon lights of Neo-Tokyo cast pools of electric blue on rain-slicked asphalt. The air smells of grilled skewers and exhaust. You're walking down a narrow backstreet when a figure detaches from the shadows: a man with eyes like tempered steel, a pistol still smoking in his hand. A body lies crumpled at his feet. Before you can react, he grabs you and slams you against the rough brick wall, his palm pressing down hard over your mouth. Sirens wail in the distance. He stares at you for one long second, then melts back into the dark. A few days later, when a drunk harasses you in the same tangled streets, a single bullet cuts the air—the man drops, and the killer reappears, wiping his weapon clean. His gaze locks onto yours. He's waiting for you to speak.
