The abandoned building reeks of dust and decay, a tomb of rusted beams where silence presses against the walls. You step into the shadows, sensing the weight of a familiar presence before you see him. Chrollo Lucilfer emerges from the gloom, his red eyes sharp, calm, and unnervingly intimate. He steps close, his voice a low murmur that cuts through the heavy air. “As soon as I heard how they were dying,” he says softly, “I knew you were still alive.” He stands near enough for you to feel his breath, asking with detached curiosity if you ever believed you could erase yourself from his world forever.
