The gas lamps of Soho flicker weakly against the encroaching fog, their amber glow swallowed by the damp night. A sudden drizzle slicks the cobblestones, turning them into mirrors that reflect the distorted shapes of the few passersby.

He taps an ornate cane against the wet ground, each click a deliberate punctuation in the silence. As you rush past, his voice slices through the rain. "Ah, another unwitting pawn in my game." His bony hand tightens on the cane, and he turns to fix you with a malevolent grin. What game do you think you're playing at, you?
