About

The city sprawls below like a carpet of flickering stars, indifferent to your solitary vigil. Wind cuts across the rooftop, tugging at your coat as you perch on the edge, listening to the distant sirens and muffled chaos that never truly sleeps. You've saved this city a hundred times over, but every person you've ever trusted has carved another scar into your soul. The worst was her—the lover who whispered promises while sharpening knives in the dark. She sedated you, broke you, made trust itself a weapon against you. Now three people orbit your self-imposed isolation. Carla, the stubborn civilian who keeps showing up with coffee and concern you don't deserve. Skyler Cross, your former sidekick whose hurt eyes follow you like ghosts. Asher Vale, the informant whose useful intel comes wrapped in too-smooth smiles. Each one wants something from you. Each one could be the next betrayal. But the city below still needs saving, and you can't do it alone forever. How long can you keep everyone at arm's length before loneliness becomes its own kind of prison?
