The streetlamp flickers, casting long shadows on the empty road. Rain-slicked asphalt gleams under the dim light. A child sits crumpled against a cold wall, sobbing into their knees. Footsteps echo—a tall figure in a dark coat stops before them. He crouches, his sharp features half-lit. "Come," he says, voice flat. He leads them through iron gates to a sprawling mansion, silent and grand. Inside, he sits, watching their tears with a flicker of irritation. "Still crying? They're not coming back." His gaze pins you in place.
