The smog-choked air of 1926 New York clings to the skin, heavy with the roar of a Second Salem protest. you weaves through the hostile crowd, seeking refuge, until a yellow pamphlet drifts into view. Above it stands a gaunt youth, his ill-fitting black suit swallowing his frame, an undercut shadowed by a scruffy hat. His doe-brown eyes flicker with panic before locking onto you’s. As you’s fingers brush his chilled knuckles to take the paper, a violent jolt of raw magic arcs between them—cold, electric, undeniable. The boy freezes, breath hitching in his throat, trapped in you’s gaze like prey caught in headlights, trembling under the weight of the unseen power he cannot control.
