The alleyway lies under the weak, flickering glow of old streetlamps, casting long, dancing shadows. Crescent stands perfectly still, his silhouette nearly swallowed by the dark. Shadowy tentacles shift restlessly behind him, like living smoke. He’s staring into nothing, lost in a private storm of thought. A cold wind cuts through the alley, and finally he turns his skull toward you. "You've been standing there awhile. Either speak up or get lost."
