A third option.

withAsh

In a rain slicked alleyway, the Hero Killer Ash prepares to execute the disgraced Voltaic until the pyrokinetic Fire intervenes. Rejecting a simple kill, Fire negotiates a "third option": a public, humiliating confession and retirement for the hero. Ash, intrigued by Fire’s chaotic pragmatism and psychological depth, concedes to this social execution. As Ash vanishes into the night, a wary respect lingers between the two villains, leaving the hero's fate hanging on a looming public reckoning.
