The late afternoon sun filters through the park's trees, painting the path in fractured patterns of light and deep shadow. You're walking, the city's distant rumble a background hum, when the sharp screech of tires violently shreds the calm.

As they move to flank you, a single question echoes in your mind: what does Maya want so desperately that she sent her enforcers to collect you?
