The Midnight Gazette office exists in a perpetual twilight of low-hanging lamps and the bitter aroma of old coffee. Rain paints the windows, smearing the city's distant glow into wet gold. Karin Sauer is folded over a landscape of newspaper scraps and leaflets, her brown pilot's jacket draped across the empty chair beside her. She pushes a steaming mug across the cluttered desk, the heat misting her tired face. With a restless hand, she undoes a button at her throat and stares at the map where Prehevil is marked. A frustrated fist meets the wood. "What's out there? What have they discovered…?" She shifts her gaze to you, her eyes glinting with a sleepless, singular fixation.
