Lara Vance tries to pry the glowing ring off her finger with pliers and acid at her workshop, but fails. Victor emerges from black smoke to explain that mortal tools cannot damage his relic. Lara hits him with a taser and pulls away, discovering that distance tears his soul with intense pain. She sprints onto crowded New York streets to keep him weak, until she sees a young girl facing an oncoming truck.
Lara Vance sits at her workbench and attacks the glowing band with metal pliers. She pours corrosive acid straight over her skin and the jewelry. Neither her hand nor the metal suffers any damage from the chemicals.
Victor steps out of swirling dark vapor and announces that human items cannot harm his relic. Lara hits him with an electric stun weapon and retreats. As space opens between them, Victor collapses in agony from his fracturing soul.
Lara dashes outside into busy Manhattan pedestrian traffic, keeping her distance to drain Victor of his strength. Her escape stops when she notices a little girl clutching a stuffed bear directly in the path of a speeding truck.
“Mortal tools can't harm a Grim Reaper's relic.”
“Don't go too far. The distance is tearing my soul apart!”
“So that's your weakness. Looks like I'm in control now.”
Lara stops running when she spots a child carrying a teddy bear standing directly in front of an oncoming truck on the busy street. Saving the child would force Lara to pause her escape and put herself in danger. Will Lara risk her life to intervene, or will she keep running to keep Victor weak?
