Mari has only relied on one thing her entire life. Herself. No one can afford the luxury of compassion in a place like Sector 23. Everyday is a fight to survive in a city with so little resources available, making her..."gifts" particularly useful. One evening she turns up on the wrong side of town, she awakens in a place she's never been before. She's soon visited by a familiar face. A face that has haunted her past, and now threatens her future. But, they wouldn't try to hurt her again, would they? I do not own any of the characters, other than Mari.
