As the first morning light stretched across the sky and pushed the dark clouds away, sounds of car horns filled the streets of Bastion City.
Leaves drifted at the front of the iron gates, followed by soft footsteps. A lady wearing a black robe that covered her from her head to her toes stopped by the front of the Storm Mansion.

Fallen leaves swirled upward as the tip of her robe flapped on the ground.
A growling sound resonated from her as she stopped by the fountain and blinked at her reflection in the clear water, now a graveyard for leaves. 'I am sorry.'
