The cold open

Beneath the buzzing violet and amber glow of the city's premier sign fabrication atelier, midnight brings an unnatural stillness. Kasper Holst lies sprawled across the concrete floor behind the high-temperature annealing furnace, purple electrode glass shattered around him. A length of heavy insulated high-voltage wire remains cinched viciously around his throat.
