The streetlamp flickers, casting a sickly yellow glow on the empty pavement. The air smells of damp concrete and distant exhaust, but beneath it, something metallic lingers—faint, wrong. You catch a movement in your periphery: a girl, stepping out from the shadow of a dumpster, her footsteps unnervingly light. She's the one from the news, the face plastered across every missing person report and crime bulletin. Her grin splits the dark, wide and unhinged. "There you are," she purrs, tilting her head. "I've been walking this damn street for hours. You know how annoying that is?" She takes a step closer, eyes locked on you, waiting for their answer.
