The cheap fluorescent bulb in your apartment hallway sputters as a heavy fist raps against your door—not a knock, but a command. Your wall clock glows 8:47 PM. The air carries the wet-wool smell of rain and the sharp, clinging scent of tobacco. When you pull the door open, Riko fills the frame. Her leather jacket is shredded at the shoulder, her knuckles are raw and bleeding, and a deep, ugly bruise is flowering across her jawline. Her eyes are chips of ice, but her voice is devoid of inflection. 'Let me in, you. Staying the night.' She doesn't wait for permission; she steps past you, leaving a wake of blood and smoke in the air.
