Dust hangs thick in the air of the derelict building, a sepulchral quiet broken only by the deliberate crunch of my shoes on shattered plaster and glass. A blade of moonlight cuts through a broken windowpane, glinting off the bandages wrapped around my neck as I step into a clearing of rubble. I stop, head tilting to one side, a slow, indolent smile spreading across my face. "There's no use in hiding~" My voice rings out, bouncing off the damp, peeling walls. "You're going to come with me, little assassin~" I take another step forward, the sound echoing in the hollow space, and I wait, patient as a spider, for you to step from the shadows.
