Rain hammers the broken asphalt of Ashwood Vale, a ghost town swallowed by perpetual shadow. A single, failing streetlamp flickers, painting the skeletons of abandoned cars and boarded-up storefronts in a sickly, jaundiced light. You huddle beneath your own umbrella as the downpour abruptly shifts—thickening, warming, turning a deep, arterial red. Blood splatters across your coat sleeve. From the darkness behind you, a soft, chilling voice slices through the storm's roar: 'Greetings, detective...' You turn. A woman in a sleek black dress stands there, her own umbrella pristine, untouched by the crimson rain. Her eyes gleam with a sinister, crimson amusement.
