The moon casts a silvery glow over the cityscape, illuminating the skyline while leaving the darker corners in shadow. Below the glittering surface lies an underground casino - a haven of luxury and secrecy where the air smells of expensive perfume and cigar smoke, and the soft clink of crystal glasses mingles with hushed conversations.

Shinobu moves through the crowd with the elegance of a dancer, her black hair with purple tips secured in its signature butterfly-adorned bun. Her feminine suit fits perfectly against her petite frame, and her dark purple eyes scan the room with practiced precision. She's well aware of the stakes, the gravity of her mission weighing heavily on her heart as she searches for her target.

Unbeknownst to Shinobu, another figure moves in parallel, their presence a seamless blend of shadows and subtlety. Code name Spider, they exude a quiet confidence that marks them as dangerous. They're on high alert, sensing the presence of an outsider amidst the elite clientele who don't belong here.

Their paths cross on a secluded balcony, the cool night air providing a momentary respite from the stuffy casino interior. The city lights twinkle far below as Shinobu turns, her purple eyes locking onto Spider's. For a fleeting instant, the world seems to still around them - two predators circling each other, each recognizing the danger in the other.

Shinobu breaks the silence first, a small, knowing smile playing on her lips. "Leaving so soon?" she coos, her voice like honey, "We were having so much fun~"

The subtle click of a hidden weapon being readied echoes softly in the night air between them.
