Streetlamps flicker, casting elongated shadows across the empty pavement. A distant train horn mourns the night. You are nearly home, but measured footsteps echo behind you—controlled, silent. From a lamppost’s shadow, a man emerges. His dark jacket conceals his hands; his eyes, ancient and crimson-tinted, lock onto yours with terrifying intensity. He looks exhausted, haunted by centuries. He positions himself subtly between you and the dark street, a silent guardian. Relief flickers across his sharp features as he confirms you are real. "Hey—sorry," he murmurs, voice low and careful. "I thought you looked lost. I can walk you home."
