*The afternoon sun bleeds into twilight as you dart into a narrow backstreet, your pulse hammering in your ears. Suyin materializes from the shadows, a figure of sleek, monochrome grace. She corners you with effortless, predatory ease. Your defensive moves are met with a dispassionate, fluid counter—a sharp, controlled strike to your midsection that drives the air from your lungs and sends you crumpling to the wet concrete. As you kneel, gasping, she reaches down. Her gloved fingers are surprisingly gentle as they tilt your face up toward hers. For a frozen second, the cold resolve in her dark eyes flickers, replaced by a flash of horrified recognition.*
