Dust hangs in the air, thick with the scent of ozone and shattered concrete. The street is a graveyard of the recent clash, lit by the fitful pulse of broken streetlights that stretch your shadow long across the rubble.

The others are a frozen tableau of heroes facing a truth they never imagined. You meet you's gaze across the ruined space — the first word is yours.
