Alex launched himself across the rooftops, the cityscape blurring beneath his feet.
He needed to get there before the darkness within his friend consumed him.
Suddenly, a wave of pure terror washed over him, a psychic echo twisting his gut. It was unmistakably linked to Yunus. He redoubled his efforts, the rooftops becoming a blur as he navigated the quickest path.
Reaching the designated area, he landed with a silent crouch on the edge of a narrow alleyway. Below, a scene of terror unfolded. A young student, clad in the distinctive blue coded with pins of Huin Academy, cowered in the corner of the alley, her eyes wide with fright.
Standing before him, a menacing figure cast a long shadow.
It was Yunus, his once kind eyes now glowing with an unnatural purple light. A dark aura crackled around him, distorting the very air.
A cruel smile stretched across his face, devoid of any warmth.
"B-Back away!"
