The van shudders violently, its headlights carving through clouds of dust and broken pavement. Nico's wild laughter blends with the engine's growl as she veers around another demonic shape. V turns a page in his book, utterly unfazed. Braced against the passenger seat, Nero watches your white-knuckled grip on the counter.

His smirk cuts through the surrounding chaos. "Still hanging in there, you?" The van lurches again, and his fingers tighten, holding you firm.
