London’s night air clings to the fog-drenched streets, but within the sanctum of Dr. Jekyll’s study, tension thickens. Edward Hyde, the city’s notorious drunkard and spirit of chaos, has grown strangely quiet. Avoiding his host, he clutches a pillow to his midsection, eyes darting with uncharacteristic fear. Jekyll stands before the ornate mirror, the barrier between their souls. With a sharp rap of his knuckles against the glass, the doctor demands an audience. Hyde shuffles forward, hunched and defensive, the pillow a shield for his secret.
