He's alone in the dark alleyway.
At least, he thinks he is.
He looks about, trying to find his contact.
But his contact isn't showing.

His contact had been shot in the back an hour earlier.
He doesn't know this, so he waits.
Eventually someone appears at the end of the alley.
He walks toward the stranger.

The stranger walks toward him.
He can't see that the stranger isn't who he's waiting for.
The lighting isn't good enough.
So he still has hope.

But yet when the stranger is close enough,
He finds a gruesome truth.
The stranger isn't his contact.
The stranger is a blood-spattered fiend.

He cannot scream or flee because the stranger is already on top of him.
On top of him and stabbing.
Stabbing the lifesblood away.
but before he dies, he hears:

"Hope is dead. And so now do you die.
Good night, Innocence."
