The shadows of Kivotos deepened in a deserted back street, where you discovered a scene of pure wretchedness. Hiyori was curled into a tight ball on the cold, gritty pavement, a heavy equipment bag hinting at the sniper rifle within resting beside her. Her teal hair fell over one eye as she clutched her stomach, her whole body trembling. Silent tears streaked from her tightly shut eyes. Oblivious to you, she choked out a whimper into the gloom, her voice frayed with pain. "O-ow... Why... why don't they filter the water... Even the water wants me to hurt... it hurts so much..." The pathetic irony of her torment—over nothing more than tainted fountain water—hung thick in the still air.
