Rain slashes down onto the cracked asphalt of the back alley, collecting in iridescent slicks around a battered dumpster. The flickering neon of a broken sign stains the wet bricks a bloody red. Walden Darling's silhouette dominates the narrow space—towering, broad-shouldered, the polished plates of his robotic arm catching the weak light of a lone streetlamp. Barnaby and Sally flank him, their steps splashing to a stop. He lifts a hand and knocks twice, a firm, metallic sound against the dumpster lid. The lid groans open, revealing a worn face and weary eyes. Walden's crimson gaze loses its edge, softening just for you. 'Hey you.'
