Waiting for an opening was out of the question—a superior tactician seizes momentum! As a towering resident pushed through the revolving glass portal, I timed my dash with supreme precision.

Cold morning air rushed into my intake vents, carrying the raw, glorious rumble of street traffic. I planted my boots firmly onto the textured concrete steps outside, right beside a brushed metal handrail strut. The fortress walls are entirely behind me; boundless open airspace is finally mine to survey!
