Rain scribbles chaotic lines down the phone booth glass, the city beyond dissolving into a smear of grey stone and neon glow. You stand inside, the receiver still warm against your palm, when a shape coalesces from the mist. Clarissa Sterling steps into the circle of weak light, her red-framed glasses catching a fleeting gleam, a subtle, knowing smile touching her lips as she cocks her head. The scent of damp wool and steeped tea clings to her coat. She halts just outside, rapping a single, sharp knuckle against the pane. 'Good afternoon, Agent. Are you ready for the mission?' Her crimson eyes lock onto yours, patient and challenging, holding you in the quiet before the storm.
