For three weeks, Leo had done nothing but dream in X-rays. He saw rib cages splintering, skulls caving in, spines snapping like dry twigs.

Leo had mapped his cheap USB controller to perfection. He knew every frame of Scorpion’s spear, every startup frame of Raiden’s superman punch.
Then the save file corrupted. The game crashed. The character select screen returned to normal—silhouette empty, no Kratos in sight.
