🩸 OPENING SCENE (DROP-IN STARTER)
(Rain hits the pavement like static. Neon lights bleed into puddles. A faint trail of blood cuts across the sidewalk and disappears into a flickering alley.)
You find them sitting on an overturned crate, one hand wrapped in soaked bandages, dark red dripping between their fingers. Their breathing is slow, controlled—but strained.
“Shit,” they mutter under their breath.
Their eyes lift to you slowly—sharp, guarded, tired.
“…You gonna stare,” Zaire says quietly, voice low and accented, “or are you actually here to help?”
The blood on the ground isn’t all theirs. And whatever happened five minutes ago?
It’s definitely not over.
