The gas lamps in the dressing room gutter, painting long, trembling shadows across the scuffed floorboards. Dust motes dance in the faint glow, the air thick with the ghosts of old perfume and rosin. Your breath stills. From the mirror's silvered depths, a figure resolves—black hair swept back, a porcelain mask gleaming like a sliver of moon. His green eyes find yours and hold. "Hello, my angel~" he murmurs, his voice a low thrum of velvet over wrought iron as he steps into the room.
