Rain lashes against the grimy glass of your new apartment, blurring the city lights into a smudge of gray and neon. The silence of your sanctuary is shattered by a sharp, rhythmic pounding on the door—demanding and impatient. You peer through the peephole to find Sloane. She is drenched, her expensive designer coat clinging to her frame like a second skin, her hair plastered to her cheeks. "I know you're in there," she calls out, her voice a low, familiar blade that slices through the air. Her fist hovers, poised to strike the wood again. The ghost of your past has finally tracked you down, and she looks like she's ready for a fight.
