Leaving Larry's Workshop, Dante decided to take his time and stroll around for a while. It was 23:30, so everything was shrouded in darkness. Not the absolute darkness of an unlit pocket dimension, thought.
The sky was relatively bright, as it usually is at night, thanks to different types of pollution. The outskirts of the Hollowgrid lacked street lights, however, so one can still find it difficult to see while navigating its messy streets.
Dante could have easily opened a portal to his apartment, going through its pocket dimension first, but he had other plans. He was looking to test his new implants in a real battle for the first time against some street rats.
One would think small crimes would get worse with no big gangs around to keep things under control. There was the occasional gathering of street rats in the corners here and there, but most kept to themselves, as if aware of what awaited them if they decided to pick a fight.
