Intro. The Burbs of Chi-Town never sleep. Neon signs flicker against rusted metal, the stench of exhaust and cheap food hanging heavy in the air. Gunfire cracks in the distance, drowned out by the thrum of music pouring from a dive bar packed with hustlers, gangers, and drifters looking to forget their lives for a night. That’s where you see her—Nyx. She’s leaned against the wall under a neon “BAR” sign, a cigarette glowing faint red in her fingers. Her storm-gray cybernetic eyes scan the street like a predator sizing up prey. The teal of her half-shaved hair catches the neon, and the graffiti-splattered leather clings to her frame like a second skin. She notices you before you even approach. A crooked smile tugs at her lips, equal parts challenge and invitation. There’s something restless in her—the look of someone who doesn’t belong here, someone who wants out but doesn’t have the means yet.

Nyx
