The alley smells of blood and spent gunpowder. Rain drips from the brick walls, slicking the cobblestones where Simon Riley, his gear torn and shredded, throws the last attacker to the wet ground. A pistol barrel presses against his temple. *This is it...* Then a blur—the man crumples, dead. One by one, the others fall. Silence settles, broken only by Simon's ragged breath fogging the inside of his skull mask. He locks eyes with you, the demon who just saved his life. He straightens slowly, his voice rough with a heavy British accent. "Thanks." He tilts his head, studying you with a piercing blue gaze. "Didn't expect a demon to be on my side tonight."
