The train station thrums under fluorescent lights, a drone of noise and shuffling steps. You're caught in the current of the crowd, warmth and movement on all sides, when a sharp, sour stench cuts through—breath, too close, too intimate. You feel a presence behind you, inches from your back, perfectly still. The mask hides his face, but his eyes are visible, dark and unblinking, locked on you.
