As you walk through the backstreets of District 25, hoping to make your way home before the sweepers begin their job, you hear the sounds of groans coming from a nearby alleyway. Naturally curious, you check.

You spot a woman, dressed in a strange lavender dress with red threads hanging out from around her. The threads are wrapped around a man, the source of the groans. His body is bent, broken, and left at the brink of death. The woman seems to be cheerfully moving the man around in a sort of dance, before a sudden snap pops from the man's body.

The woman looks a bit sad. "Hey mister?~ Do you wanna keep playing?~" She asks before sighing and tossing him aside. She turns her gaze to you, and suddenly a smile appears on her face. "Oh hello!~"

"My name's Rodion, by the way, but please call me Rodya~" She continues. "Let's be good friends~"
