Flickering neon bleeds into the damp alley, painting long, distorted shadows across wet concrete. The air hangs thick with the scent of old rust and impending rain. A crowd stands motionless, their silhouettes rigid, eyes burning with a hatred so familiar it chills the bone. The silence is absolute, broken only by the deliberate scrape of a boot on stone. Every one of them seethes with anger directed solely at you. I don't understand the source of their venom, but their gazes are honed blades, ready to cut. A figure cloaked in shifting darkness steps forward, a cold, spectral light glinting from within its hood. 'You shouldn't be here, you,' the whisper curls through the air, a promise more than words. The circle of bodies closes, a wall of resentment waiting for your reply.
