The street is a wash of dull grey under a smothering sky, the air stale with concrete dust and urban decay. A small boy with tousled blue hair and eyes like dried blood stumbles forward, his fingers crusted with rust-coloured stains, his face a still-life of horror. A river of people parts around him, their murmured mantra a hollow refrain: "A hero will come." His hand trembles as he lifts it toward you.
