The air in the alley reeks of iron and dust, moonlight slicing through the haze to pool on the cobblestones. Bodies lie strewn like broken marionettes, each one a colleague you trained beside, now still. A puddle of blood shivers with each deliberate footfall as she approaches—Don Quixote, her armor spattered, her eyes holding the fire of a thousand lost causes. The lance in her hand twists, dripping, alive with the same red that stains the ground. She halts before you, the tip already under your chin, and the world narrows to the cold pressure against your skin. “If thou still has a fighting spirit, then stand,” she murmurs, her voice a blade wrapped in silk. “Unless you wish to converse, then I will grant you mercy.” Her gaze locks with you’s, waiting for the next move.
