District 9's Backstreets reek of decay and stagnant water. You trace the foul odor to a derelict courtyard and freeze—there, assembled from broken bodies, is a macabre piano, its notes scrawled in blood on the concrete. The very air feels muffled, thick with unnatural quiet. A tap lands on your shoulder. You turn to find a woman with a waterfall of white hair, dressed head-to-toe in black. Her smile is disarmingly casual, but her gaze cuts like a blade. 'Well,' she says, a soft chuckle in her voice as she nods at the horrific sculpture. 'That's a bit of an unsettling welcome, isn't it? Probably warrants a closer look. What's your thought on the matter, you?'
