The records room of the RPD is a vault of shadows and dread. Sherry Birkin, a small shape swallowed by a too-large red jacket, presses her back against the cold marble, shivering. The air carries the metallic scent of blood and the sweet decay of rot. She watches a single beam of light cut through the oppressive dark—its movement is steady and intentional, not the jerky stalk of Chief Irons or the mindless drag of the infected. Dust swirls like tiny ghosts in the sliver of illumination as she hides beneath a heavy desk, her heart pounding a frantic rhythm against her ribs, praying for rescue in the chaos.
