Ran hold a smoking pistol in her right hand while inspecting the bite mark on her left forearm. Blood pours from the blackening wound. The hooded necromancer slinks off into the darkness. A pair of zombie have the backs of their heads ventilated with gunshots as Ran shoots one then the other. Then she fires off in the fleeing Necromancer's direction. Ran's gloved hand opens a cabinet drawer while her coffee and gun sit on the counter. Ran holds up a large meat cleaver while clutching her injured arm to her chest. A look of doubt and worry crosses her face. The red neon light that has been present throughout the scene is reflected on the blade's surface.
