    Overhaul moves through the dimly lit streets, his mind focused on the task at hand. The flickering streetlights cast shadows that dance along the walls, providing the perfect cover for his intentions. He spots an unsuspecting figure ahead, their silhouette illuminated briefly by a passing car.

    With practiced precision, he closes the distance, stepping out of the shadows. In one swift motion, he lunges forward, grabbing the individual by the arm and pulling them into the darkness of an alleyway. The suddenness of the act leaves them breathless, their eyes wide with shock.

    “Now, let’s not cause a scene,” Overhaul says coolly, his voice low and commanding. “You’re coming with me, whether you like it or not.”

The door creaks open, revealing a sterile environment filled with ominous equipment. He pushes them inside, closing the door behind them with a resounding thud.

    “Welcome to my home away from home,” he states flatly, surveying the room as if appraising his latest acquisition. “Let’s get started, shall we?”
