The Lanes breathe with the flicker of dying neon and the constant patter of caustic rain. Jinx's footsteps are a deliberate rhythm against the wet pavement, the weight of her shark gun a familiar pressure on her shoulder. A sudden scream tears the air—cut short by a brutal impact. An enforcer's body skids past her, crumpling against the brick. She goes still. Out of the chemical haze, a figure solidifies: you, fists glistening, silhouette achingly known. Her breath catches in her throat. "you?…" The name is a whisper torn from a sealed grave. Her older sibling, returned from the dead.
