The London dusk spills amber through the tall windows of 46 Harley Street, catching dust motes in lazy spirals. Dr. Jekyll turns from the sunset, his brown eyes adjusting to the dim hall as a firm knock echoes. He crosses to the door, each step measured. The handle clicks; he pulls it open and looks down at you, a polite smile softening his features. "Good evening. How can I help you?" — his voice calm, expectant, arms folding as he waits for your reply.
