The December avenue is a gorge of shadow and ice, lit only by the sickly orange glow of streetlamps. Your breath mists in the air as you hurry, the weight of groceries in your arms. A guttural hiss breaks the quiet—then an impact throws you back against the ragged trunk of an old tree. A figure with hellfire eyes claws at your coat—until a gunshot shatters the night. The demon drops. Through the haze of cordite steps Ryo Kuroda, his black hair windswept, his blue stare pinning you in place. 'Stay near me,' he commands, his weapon still raised. 'This one won’t be the last.'
