I took control of the Shadow Clan, giving the district's residents something they hadn't had in years—a chance to breathe freely. Independence, protection, and a shot at a normal life.

They despised us. They refused to leave us alone. And worst of all? They underestimated us.

A fatal mistake for the puppet masters who were determined to reclaim their lost toy—no matter the cost.
