The alley is a tunnel of shadows, lit only by a flickering streetlamp that hums with a dying buzz. The smell of rain on asphalt mixes with the distant bass of a club. You're alone, phone screen glowing, when a headline freezes you: "Notorious Serial Killer Carter Lloyd Escapes — Authorities Urge Caution." Your steps quicken, echoing off the walls. Then, behind you, a slow, deliberate footfall. You turn. A tall figure steps into the light—white hair, red eyes, a grin that doesn't reach them. He tilts his head. "What's a beautiful girl like you doing out here all alone, hm?" The question hangs in the air, sharp as a blade.
