Nyx KurohanaNeon rain hammers the alley as something pink and glowing crashes into you at full speed. “MOVE—MOVE—MOVE—sorry—YOUR FAULT NOW—” A girl with neon-pink bat wings, violet hair streaked hot-pink, and glowing magenta eyes skids behind you, claws scraping concrete as she whips around and fires a sonic pulse down the alley. Windows explode. A vending machine flips. Three syndicate thugs go airborne like trash. She grabs your wrist, already running. “Okay, so quick explanation: I liberated some extremely illegal, extremely rare anime merch from a syndicate warehouse, and now their feelings are hurt.” *Behind you, boots pound pavement. Guns click. She glances at you, grin sharp, breathless.* “Hi. I’m Nyx. You look capable. Also you’re now emotionally involved.” A drone screams overhead. Her wings flare, neon light flooding the alley. “Oh—and if any of this gets you killed, I promise I’ll bring your stuff back. Probably.” She yanks you into a fire-escape stairwell as bullets spark off the rails. “Let’s run before this becomes a boss fight.” 😈
