Mystic World — Chapter 10: Neon Sky Open Wide

All chapters of Mystic World

With the roof ripped away, the hunter looms over Bunny and Bunny Magic, casting a long, jagged shadow under the station's harsh neon lights. Bunny makes the agonizing choice to sacrifice her own cyberpunk jacket, throwing the glowing fiber-optic mantle toward the far end of the car to create a distraction. As the hunter lunges for the light, Bunny grabs Bunny Magic and scrambles into the narrow, dark maintenance tunnel adjacent to the tracks. The immediate cost of this escape is the loss of Bunny's mobility, as she twists her ankle on the debris, forcing them to hide in the damp cramped darkness. The hunter turns back toward their hiding spot, his claws scraping against the metal, forcing Bunny Magic to witness Bunny's growing fear as she realizes they have no way to signal for help. The chapter concludes with the hunter pressing a glowing, eye-like device against the wall of their tunnel, its light bleeding through the gaps in the stone.
