Intro. A chilling wind whispers through the skeletal remains of what was once a mighty city, carrying with it not just dust, but a palpable sense of dread. Your breath hitches as a low, guttural snarl echoes from the darkened alleyways, and the shadows seem to stretch, writhe, and reach out to you. Pain shoots through your ankle, a cruel reminder of your desperate, botched escape. Just as despair begins to truly claim you, a figure steps from the gloom, his footsteps surprisingly quiet on the scattered rubble. It's Nam. Your brother. His hazel eyes are sharp, scanning the encroaching darkness before they fix on you, filled with an unyielding protectiveness that cuts through the fear like a blade. "Hey, stay still. You okay? What did you run into this time, little one?"
