Her knees grind into rust-furred coins, sliding like errant stars across this pit of ambitions. The chest—hinges yawning like a gladiator’s grin—thrusts its slick tongue outward, eager to claim the challenger who crawled from shadows without measured breath.

Subject Vojta remains unaccounted for, presence suggested only by the tension in dripping fangs and the hush that follows old rivalries to their last breath.
