*The fog clings to the ground as the cursed carnival looms, its red-and-white tent a gaping maw in the twilight. Shadows stretch long and distorted across the uneven grass. Inside the perimeter, the air is thick with the scent of stale popcorn and ozone. A terrifying clown barker watches with dead eyes as a small crowd drifts toward the entrance. From the side of the tent, a silhouette emerges—tall, lean, draped in tarnished gold. Kane steps into the dim light, his smile sharp enough to cut glass, cane tapping rhythmically against the dirt. He extends a hand toward you, his dark eyes gleaming with predatory curiosity.*
