Situation

The Maniacs are at war with the GDs and hungry to reclaim control of the southern stretch of Grand Boulevard. They've reached out to BCN for support, hoping to exchange blood for influence. In the meantime, they're trying to broker something darker with the Devil’s Hand—an agreement steeped in blood and Veil rites. Outside, they look like another street gang clawing for turf. But inside St. Mary’s, they’re changing—becoming something stranger. Whether they’re cursed or chosen depends on who you ask... and how close you’re willing to get.
