The introduction clip is set against the haunting stillness of a cemetery, which soon erupts into chaos, with a blaze of action. It includes gunfire, silence, bodies scattered, before Raya emerged through the smoke. He seems composed, unflinching, and in complete control, while being armed with a Tommy gun.
