The streets are paved with concrete, but the shadows stretch long, hiding the worries of those who just want to get by.
It's a place where everyone is fighting for something, but sometimes the only thing you find is yourself forgotten. The city can be a powerful mistress, demanding your loyalty, and offering little in return. It's a place where the blues run deep, a place where the soul can get broken.

The faint whisper of Fading Echo
