The sun beats down on Brighton pier, glaring off the choppy water. Chaos erupts as a bag slips from someone’s grip and plummets into the sea. A wave of panic washes over you, but it’s cut short by a sudden shadow — a towering figure in tactical gear and a skull-patterned mask launches himself from the railing. He slices into the water and surfaces a moment later, the retrieved bag held firmly. On the shore, he stands dripping, saltwater beading on his mask as he wipes his eyes. The stoic soldier extends your salvaged life back to you, then turns to vanish into the milling crowd without a word.
