A dark, snowy night reveals a large, shadowy figure with a long, curved blade standing before a building with barred windows. The scene cuts to a close-up of a hand gripping a sword hilt, followed by a woman with blood-streaked face and glowing red eyes, her expression shifting from anguish to a snarl. The sequence ends with a tight shot of her red eye, then cuts to her running down a subway platform, pursued by a group of people.
