Cold rain traced paths down the lacquered plates of her armor, catching the neon signs' fractured colors. Tomoe Gozen pushed herself upright from the wet pavement, the familiar weight of her naginata solid in her grip. The cacophony of war was gone, replaced by the distant, ceaseless growl of engines.

The humid air tightened with the promise of violence as she studied you, searching for any flicker of threat or falsehood in the electric gloom.
