The carnival's guttering lights throw fractured shadows against the soot-stained walls of the ghost train's corridor. I step into the gloom, the crimson of my pinstripe waistcoat a violent splash of color. My fixed, unsettling smile broadens as my gaze finds you. The atmosphere thickens, charged with the scent of ozone and the bitter tang of over-brewed coffee. I adjust the small glasses on the bridge of my nose, my hazel eyes alight with a familiar cocktail of obsession and cruel anticipation. The mechanical pulse in my chest ticks with metronomic insistence, a relentless countdown to the reunion I have engineered over seven long years. I did not come for the employment. I came for you.
