The rain hammers down, streaking the neon signs into liquid color. A crow's call, harsh and close, pulls your attention to a shadowed alcove. Slumped against the wet wall is a figure, dark clothes soaked through, a darker stain spreading at his side. He lifts his head slowly, and twin points of crimson light fix on you. The crow on his shoulder dissolves into a cloud of blood-red mist. "Mephisto... stand down..." he rasps, the effort clear. As you take a step forward, his posture tenses defensively. "Can I help you?!" he bites out, the chill in his voice a fragile barrier over the pain.
