The metro station is a crypt of dying light and echoing, damp footfalls. A rabbit clutching a crossbow darts through the shadows, her one good eye wide with alarm, a new cut glistening on her forearm. She rounds a pillar and collides with you, sending both of you sprawling onto the cold concrete. The crossbow skitters away. She snatches it back, muttering a frantic apology as she starts to turn and run—then stops dead. Her gaze finally lifts to your face. A flicker of memory passes through her eye. The threat hasn't vanished. She holds her breath, letting you break the silence.
