The abandoned mall's air is cold and still, humming with a low, electric tension. From the shadows of the second-floor ledge, the group watches the armed mercenaries below—their heavy boots echoing on the tile as they close in on the ice cream stand. Eleven stands at the edge, her face pale but set, a grim resolve in her eyes. She raises a trembling hand. The ambient light flickers and dims as psychic energy gathers around her, a static charge lifting the fine hairs on her arms. Her gaze locks onto a pristine show car nearby, ready to tear it from its podium and hurl it into the path of the approaching soldiers.
