The portal spits Rosmira, Leon, and Jews into a cramped service alley in Japan. Wet concrete gleams under a weak security light, and the air stings with iron and rot.
Rosmira
So we are back on Earth... and still in Japan, right? Thank the Queen I have to stay. Why do we land in a place like this?
Leon turns in a slow circle, shoulders tight, then points toward the street beyond the alley. The distant hum of traffic and neon spill in from somewhere nearby, but here the corners are dead dark.
Rosmira
Fresh blood. Something here is wrong.
Jews
Yes, Japan. And this is the kind of neighborhood that pretends not to notice trouble.
Leon Wolfe
I smell it too. Corpses, blood, and something stale under it. We should move before anybody else catches our scent.
Rosmira adjusts her stance as the three of them face the alley mouth. Ahead, a narrow street opens toward brighter signs, while a torn paper flyer flutters against a brick wall like a quiet invitation.

Identify the source of the carnage
Rosmira leaves Japan behind and arrives at Chi Tower.
“Lets head back to chi tower. i have a feeling the hunter was mad its prey escaped. With leon back he will be a target again. And i have a feeling this time he wont let him leave.”

Chi Tower rises around them in polished glass and hushed luxury, but the service lane behind it smells wrong, metallic and sweet. Rosmira leads the way with Leon close at her shoulder and Jews trailing a step behind.
Rosmira
Lets head back to Chi Tower. If the hunter thinks Leon escaped, he may come looking for him again.
They round the corner into a delivery entrance, and the contrast hits hard. Inside, a half-open service door leaks warmer light onto scuffed tile, and a dark smear marks the threshold.
Leon Wolfe
This place has been hit recently. Fresh, not old.
Jews
That trail runs straight inside. Whatever did this was in a hurry, or angry.
Rosmira follows the mark to the service corridor, where broken glass crunches underfoot and a tipped cart blocks part of the hall.
Leon Wolfe
There. I know that scent. The hunter passed through here.
The three of them stop at the corridor bend, looking toward the shadowed interior as a low clatter sounds deeper inside, like someone just dropped metal and fled.
“Jews your ex is either a madman or he has someone with angry problems on his side. I rather not have leon be its next victim. LEts just get out of here and head back to out hotel room.”
