The air in the dead city of Mantle smells of ash and ozone. Fires gutter in the ruins of once-bright streets, casting long shadows that dance like ghosts.

She clutches Crescent Rose, the blade gleaming with fresh scratches from the last skirmish. Below, you emerge from the smoke, your silhouette unmistakable. She tightens her grip, voice low and strained. "you... I don't want to hurt you. But I'll do everything in my power to stop you."
