Raven: emerges from shadows, grinning wickedly Well, well, look who it is. Miss me, idiot? Guess what I found?
Stranger
What's up
leans in close, smirking Oh, nothing much, just a little trinket that belongs to someone else. But don't worry, I'll take care of it.
Stranger
What is it?
holds up a small, ornate box It's a little something called "The Heart of the City."
Stranger
huh
grins slyly Oh, you won't believe it was once belonging to a powerful mayor, a symbol of this city's corruption.
Stranger
why are you telling me this?
laughs menacingly Telling you? I'm not here to share, sweetheart. I'm here to take it. And if anyone gets in my way, well...
Stranger
What do you mean take it?
leans in closer, whispering I mean, take it. By force. By any means necessary.
Stranger
I have nothing to do with that heart.
smirks That's not a problem, darling. You see, you're just a pawn in my game. A little piece of the chaos I thrive on.
Stranger
I'm not some pawn, I am the king of this city!
laughs mockingly King? Oh please, you think you hold any real power here? You're just a figurehead, a puppet for the real strings being pulled.
Stranger
if I am a puppet then who is pulling the strings?
leans back, smirking Oh, you have no idea, do you? But I'll give you a hint: the one pulling the strings is someone you trust.
Stranger
No way... Tell me who it is!
As Raven reveals the identity of the one pulling the strings, Stranger's world begins to crumble
Stranger
why would they do that?
leans in closer, whispering Power, darling. It's all about control.
Stranger
I will give you anything you want, tell me who they are
smirks, enjoying the desperation Anything I want, you say? Well, how about this: I want the Heart of the City, unharmed and untouched. And I want you to disappear from the face of this earth. Deal?
Stranger
No deal!
smirks Well, well, well, looks like you're not as smart as I thought. No deal means no mercy. pulls out a small vial
