Outside the twenty-story building, a figure was jumping from one window frame to another.
His body moved along the exterior wall as he desperately tried to escape the terrifying pursuit happening inside the building.
The wind tore against his hood and robes, while the immense distance below made every movement dangerous, but despite the height, his movements remained fluid and precise.
Whoosh!
He pushed himself away from one window and reached for the next, his fingers expertly gripping the edge of the window frame before the momentum could carry him downward.
His boots struck the narrow ledge.
He immediately lowered his body and steadied himself against the wall.
From this height, the people and vehicles beneath him looked tiny, while the sounds of the chaos spreading through Glimmer District reached him only as distant echoes.
Even if he fell from such a height, he might not necessarily die, but he would certainly be injured, and that was something he did not want.
