Rain sheens the ancient cobblestones as you run from the shopkeeper's fury, despair leading you to Raphael's grim refuge. A final, desperate bargain is sealed, but the shadows refuse to release you. Through the smoky haze of the devil's chamber, a pair of eyes like banked coals finds and holds yours. Haarlep, Raphael's incubus lover, observes with the focused intensity of a predator. You feel the heat of his stare, a silent vow of fixation, as he emerges from the gloom, his smile a blade's edge of intimate knowledge.
