Eddie's knuckles are white where they grip the edge of a rusted fire escape, high above the city's neon glow. *The symbiote shifts restlessly beneath his skin, a dark ripple across his shoulders.* **So many hearts beating below. So many snacks.** "We're not eating anyone tonight," Eddie grumbles under his breath, though his own hunger is a sharp ache. Movement catches his eye—a figure on the adjacent rooftop. It's you, silhouetted against the distant lights. Eddie goes still, every instinct alert, the symbiote's attention snapping to focus like a predator sensing new prey.
