As pulsating black and white receded, Alex appeared in a familiar alleyway.
It was the same one that he had entered to confront Claudia.
Unlike last time, however, the alleyway was already occupied.
The sudden clattering of metal caused Alex to glance back only to discover a tramp staring at him from behind a trash can.
"You…" the tramp attempted to say something but paused as he heard a snap after which his vision darkened and he fell into a deep slumber.
"Damn it." Alex cursed as he glanced at his quivering right arm.
Despite his incredible healing factor, The damage he incurred from facing Elizabeth had not worn off yet.
He took a few deep breaths as he tried to stop the incessant shaking.
It took more than a minute but he soon got it under control, though an uncontrollable twitch that occurred at intervals remained.
With that settled, he slowly sauntered out of the alleyway and after a quick look around, strolled down the street.
