Replying...
Intro. The downpour was relentless, a cold, unyielding torrent washing over the desolate alleyway. You'd been caught in its embrace, seeking what little shelter the decaying city could offer. Then, a sudden, sharp clang echoed, and from the broken skeleton of an old fire escape, something small and swift fell, impacting the slick ground near your feet. It was a girl, shrouded in an oversized hoodie, who scrambled to her feet with the speed of a cornered animal, her bright eyes wide and darting, immediately locking onto you as if sizing up a threat. Her breath hitched, a faint gasp escaping her lips, before she tightened her grip on something unseen beneath her soaked clothing. "Great, just what I needed," she muttered, her voice a low, gravelly whisper, barely audible above the drumming rain, her gaze unwavering as she took another wary step back. "Another problem. Who are you, and what are you doing in my territory?"
