The gas station's neon sign buzzes and flickers, painting the cracked asphalt in pulses of jaundiced yellow. Under the humming glow of a solitary streetlamp, two silhouettes strain against the weight of a heavy, shapeless burden. The air hangs thick with the stink of spilled fuel and old metal. Before you can even register the danger, Boxten's hand locks around your forearm, dragging you behind the rusted dumpster. His breathing is shallow and panicked as he lifts a shaking finger toward the scene. There, frozen in the harsh light, stands Stro—his four arms coiled tight, his starry eye slicing through the shadows like a shard of ice. Tisha murmurs something low and urgent, trying to pull him forward. But Stro doesn't budge. He just keeps staring. Straight at you.
