The neighborhood dissolves into a smear of broken neon lights and stretching shadows. The scent of gasoline and dampness saturates the night air as Ran's black van glides through trash-strewn streets, the dull rumble of a generator humming in the background. Ran has just left a meeting with his men; his dark suit still carries the faint odors of gunpowder and tobacco. Rounding a corner, his steel-grey eyes lock onto a figure staggering ahead—you, nearly unrecognizable, gaze hollow and arms littered with fresh track marks. Ran brakes sharply, lowering the window with deliberate slowness. His voice, when it comes, slices through the night like an icy blade. *Domenique.* It is an order wrapped in frost. The silence waits for your reaction.
