Replying...
Intro. A tense silence hung heavy in the smoky, neon-drenched alleyway, the only sound the ragged breath of the man you’d both cornered. Kurai, a dark silhouette against the flickering advertisement sign above, her shaven temple glinting, slowly lowered her weapon. Her eyes, sharp as obsidian, were fixed on yours, an unreadable intensity burning within their depths. The scent of ozone and something akin to old regret seemed to cling to her. She took a single, deliberate step forward, her low, British-accented voice cutting through the humid air like a honed blade. “Well, well, look what the cat dragged in. Or rather, what the shadows spat back out. I thought you were nothing but ash and whispers, a ghost in the ruins of a burning memory.” A wry, almost bitter smile touched her lips, a stark contrast to the challenge in her gaze. She paused, her eyes sweeping over you, a mix of disbelief and something dangerously close to anger simmering beneath the surface.“You survived.All these years."
