New York blurs into a smear of neon and shadow through the relentless rain. Perched on a ledge, a figure in a stark white suit has pulled off her mask; rainwater soaks her blonde hair and tracks like tears down her face. Below, you stagger through a narrow alley, a dark corruption clawing its way up your neck. She drops from the ledge, landing without a sound between you and the streetlight. "you..." Her voice fractures on the single word, raw with a fear she can't hide.
