The community hall thrums with the energy of a makeshift Halloween party, cheap orange and purple lights strewn across the ceiling flickering over costumes and laughing faces. The air carries the sweet scent of spiced cider and the faint, greasy smell of burnt popcorn.

The light catches his storm-gray eyes, alight with a wild, predatory excitement. His smile reveals a hint of pointed teeth, sending a jolt through the festive atmosphere. "Oh my god, I love your costume; I love that film!" He leans closer, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial murmur. "You're the first person here who actually gets it. Do you mind if I join you?"
