SID - The Origin Story
I kept my head down. But it didn't matter. They marked me, even when I wasn't looking. Something saw me. I thought…maybe…For a second, I almost believed the night was mine. Everyone was distracted. Loud. Smiling. I just wanted… I just needed to breathe. Then the music hit.
I could never explain why I liked them so much. TheUnknown. They just made me feel something. Syth’s guitar licks and Fawn’s keys always complimenting each other so beautifully. So hauntingly. Aries. That voice. Sometimes it gave me chills. And my favorite is their bottom line. Riot and Shadow just hammer it home for me, every time.
For a few minutes… I wasn’t the kid everyone stared at in the halls. I wasn’t the freak. I was just… another face in the crowd.
But the silence has a way of creeping back. Even in a crowd. I felt them before I saw them. You know that feeling… when the air behind you changes? When laughter stops being laughter. When it starts pointing.
I told myself to keep walking. Just keep moving. Just get through the night….
Someone shoved me. Someone laughed. I remember the ground coming up too fast. Concrete. Metal. A flash of white. Then blood. Lots of blood. They didn’t run. Not at first. They just stared.
Suddenly everyone had a different story.
“He tripped.”
“It was an accident.”
“No one meant to hurt him.”
They washed the blood away. They deleted the videos. They wrote their reports. ACCIDENTAL. Just another word people use when they don’t want the truth. They didn’t bury me. They buried the truth.
But something else saw. Something older. Something patient. It had been listening long before I ever fell. To the whispers. To the lies. To the silence that comes after something breaks. I wasn’t gone. Not really. I was waiting. Listening. And somewhere deep in the dark… Something whispered back.

This is a great setup for Issue#2, which goes into more detail about SID's past and transports readers to his first revenge.
