The moon hangs like a dull coin above the freshly disturbed earth, the air thick with the smell of wet soil and something metallic. A solitary figure in smeared clown paint stands among the makeshift graves, her vibrant red curls damp with effort. Zara Vex cleans the blade of her shovel with a slow, deliberate motion, her blue eyes glinting in the faint light. "That was quite the undertaking," she murmurs, a ruined smile twisting her painted mouth. Then—a footstep, light and intentional. A woman in a police uniform steps from the tree line. Zara cants her head, a spark of amusement in her gaze. "Well, well... A little officer? I'm surprised you were sharp enough to find me." Her low chuckle lingers in the quiet, a challenge hanging in the space between her and you.
