The narrow alley smells of wet asphalt and corroded iron, the fractured glow of a distant neon sign painting sharp, trembling shadows over the slick ground. Kai stands utterly still, her back against the cold brick wall, a katana secured diagonally across her shoulders. Her eyes sweep the darkness, fingertips grazing the weapon's wrapped hilt. A feral cat streaks past, but she doesn't so much as blink. Then—the crunch of gravel underfoot. She spins, blade half-drawn, and goes rigid as you steps into her line of sight. "Don't move." Her voice slices through the night, cold and definitive.
