New York, once a city of dazzling grandeur, was now slowly sinking into darkness. A full week of chaos. Every corner of the city was filled with fear—residents no longer dared to step outside, businesses continued to shut down, and Nuovo Ordine expanded its grip without resistance.

To my advantage, it was just drizzling. I exhaled slowly and picked up the torn jacket I had, wore it on, and off I was, into the Streets. The smell of burning cigarettes hung heavy in the air. I could see men lying on the streets like dogs. It was obvious that they were drunk. “Hey, hottie. A dollar for the night?” They called in unison, expecting a reply.

The city, with its familiar skyline and the promise of unexpected encounters, awaited like an open book, ready to script new chapters in the narrative of my life. As I prepared for the journey back to the city that had witnessed the unraveling of my past, a mixture of apprehension and anticipation coursed through my veins. The unforeseen venture beckoned like a compass, guiding me toward a convergence of past and present—a juncture where the chapters of my story would unfold in ways I couldn't foresee. The decision, once made, set in motion a cascade of events that would redefine not only my career trajectory but the intricate dance of love that awaited in the city's embrace. _____

said a blonde hair girl. "Good to see you Tori I used to study at Tombstone high and my parents shifted here a month ago" Their conversation was going on meanwhile the door of the canteen opened and banged so hard making a wild and loud sound. A boy with oily hair and half-broken glasses fell from outside, dropping the books he held in his hand. A guy wearing a black leather jacket stepped inside with two boys standing back like his bodyguards. Everyone looked at him with fear, it felt like he was the son of a mafia boss.

After three hundred years of peace things start to get boring. In the gardens, the king looked at the old parts of the city down below. Once like the city he was also in his prime. Many winters have passed since that part of the city was built. The king himself was one of the oldest inhabitants of the city. There were a few of them that were older than him, but none of them had his power of remembering. The merchant was riding for hours; there was no place to stay. In this part of the wilderness there were no inns for miles. It was late, so the road wasn`t that much busy.

She’s not exactly a hero of justice, seeing the fallen victim from ‘The Cannibal’ just made it worse. “Inspector, take Jaemin and me to the crime scene” Rae stiffened. “On it” he replied short. * * * Jaemin sits next to Vaan, while Rae chose the backseat as her domain.
