Neon Harbour — After Midnight,,
rain began without warning.A faint trace of acid in the air.When neon light mixed with it,the city looked like it was bleeding

Neon Harbour is no longer afraid.It is waiting.
she stands in the rain,,,,
drops try to touch her,but she does not get wet.The rain bends around her
"He will come,"she thinks.
In the distance a figure.
Elior,,, rain hits him He gets soaked.
But he does not move.

"You're tearing the city apart,"
she smiles,,,"This city was already broken."
They step forward,,air between them
fractures.
(CRACK)!!!!
The rain splits in two.On one side stillness.On the other a storm.
"You're a threat,",,,,
"You're blind," she answered,,
Cars flip,drones fall from the sky,lights explode.
ENERGY COLLISION DETECTED
NO DOMINANCE
CITY STRAIN: 41%
This is not a fight This is two truths colliding.
Across the city.,,,
On the steps of an old metro station,
Nancy stands in the rain.Water clings to her hair.
Screens around her flicker.energy spike between Lyra and Elior shakes the entire Grid.
she closes her eyes.She doesn't need the video feed she feels it.Her chest tightens.
"It's her"...Lyra,,
But not only Lyra.Inside Nancy a vision.
Laboratory lights,same room.same blade-white glow.Two tables...
A voice,,,
"Subject A stable."
"Subject B unstable."
her breath catches,, "B…"
opens her eyes slowly,"She wasn't alone…"
rain intensifies,Nancy looks at her own hand.Her fingers tremble slightly.
"Do you want to save her?" a voice inside asks.
shakes her head,,"She doesn't need saving.",,,, "She needs a witness."
metro wall cracks from Lyra's distant shockwave.Nancy does not run this is her moment.
I won't hide anymore.,,,
Lightning strikes between Lyra and Elior.For one second both of them turn into light.In that flash Elior sees the child inside her pain.Lyra sees the fear inside him,lightning fades,Only rain remains.
"You're not alone,"
Lyra freezes....,"I've always been alone."
Across the city Nancy doesn't hear those words.
But she knows them,,,
PUBLIC BROADCAST:
"ENTITY LYRA CLASSIFIED: MYTH / GLITCH"
Nancy lets out a soft laugh,,
"Not a glitch…",,"You're not the system's error."
looks up at the sky...
"You're their fear."
steps back,,,,"This isn't over."
Lyra turns into the rain,,,
"This hasn't even begun."
Nancy climbs the metro steps the city now feels three heartbeats.
Lyra, Elior, Nancy....
CITY STATUS:TRIAD AWAKENING

Harbour shines in the rain,!!!!!
