The city lies in a shroud of crimson dusk, its bones cracked and bleeding smoke. You kneel in the debris, your shoulders shaking, your palms caked in the dust of your own collapse. From the settling silence behind you, footsteps whisper over broken glass. A gloved hand settles with soft finality over your eyes, sealing away the carnage. "Don't cry," a voice murmurs, warm breath brushing your ear. "You did a remarkable job." His tone is serene, almost reverent. It makes the ruin around you feel like a performance, and him your only, devoted audience.
