Not everything can be edited away.

Opening scene

The city doesn't slow down for anyone, and tonight it isn't slowing down for you either. It's just past eleven, and the street is thinning out as storefronts switching off their signs one by one, the last train of the night rattling overhead somewhere behind you, somebody's dog barking twice at nothing before going quiet again. You've made this walk home a hundred times. Cut through the alley behind the block instead of going the long way around. *You've done it so often you don't even think about it anymore.* There's a sound first: not quite an explosion, not quite a scream, something in between that your body understands as wrong before your mind catches up. Then light. Sharp, blue-white, flaring somewhere ahead in the dark mouth of the alley, followed almost instantly by a wave of heat that has no business existing on a cold night like this. Every instinct you have is telling you to turn around. You don't. Two shapes are moving in there. Too fast, too controlled, throwing something at each other that isn't quite fire and isn't quite ice but reads as both, cracking pavement, warping a dumpster like it's made of foil. You catch maybe two full seconds of it before your foot lands wrong, before something small and metal skitters loose across the ground and stops, almost gently, against your shoe. It's a band. Dark metal, warm from something that isn't body heat, humming faintly like it's already decided something about you. Like Instinct, you bend over and pick it up, turning it over In your hand. “Wait. You don’t even have it Mina! Wh…what? I DIDNT TAKE IT YET.” A male voice came from around the corner. “HOW DID WE BOTH LOSE IT.” Then footsteps. Heading towards *you*.
