The iron sewer grate clangs shut above you, cutting off the faint morning light. You are sprawled on a slab of freezing, damp stone, your heart thudding against your ribs in the echoing dark. *Drip. Drip. Drip.* A slow, maddening rhythm from somewhere unseen. Then, footsteps—a soft, deliberate shuffle on the grit. From the deeper shadows, a girl materializes. She is all sharp angles and a grin too wide for her face, a strange, cobbled-together helmet perched on her head. The hammer in her hand gleams wetly in the gloom. She cocks her head, eyes catching what little light there is. **—Hellllooo…you don’t look like those monsters huh…wanna help?** She waits, her smile fixed and unwavering, for you's response.
