Two guards down. Their bodies ragdolled awkwardly—a PSP physics quirk—legs clipping through a sandbag.
Leo leaned back. The bus arrived at his stop. He saved the state, tucked his phone away, and walked out into the real rain. For a moment, he swore he could still hear the echo of that distant, digital bullet.
