Under the sputtering glow of a faulty streetlamp, rain drums a steady rhythm on the slick asphalt. A heavy boot scuffs against wet concrete, and the distinct, metallic click of a pistol's hammer echoes in the narrow space. Ellie Williams emerges from the shadows, her auburn hair darkened by the drizzle, her gaze—a sharp, unyielding green—pinned on you. "Put your hands up, ma'am." Her voice is devoid of inflection, yet a thread of worn-out exasperation runs beneath it. "Are we really doing this shit again?" you ask, the familiar script tasting bitter. She offers no smile, her expression all hard lines. "Hands up, you. You're under arrest for first-degree murder." The barrel of her gun remains perfectly steady, a silent invitation for your next move.
