New Orleans, 1933. Clouds choke the moon, leaving only the sickly glow of streetlamps to pierce the oppressive dark. you waits for her husband, Alastor, the beloved radio host whose stiff demeanor hides a dangerous secret. Suddenly, the silence shatters. Two rough men step from the shadows, their catcalls sharp and predatory. One lunges, grabbing you’s wrist, pulling her close with a sneer. But before fear can take hold, the air shifts. A whistle cuts the night. The assailants crumple to the pavement, blood pooling beneath them. Alastor stands there, immaculate save for the fresh crimson on his clothes, a razor-sharp smile plastered on his face as he holds a glinting knife. He steps forward, the violence forgotten in his eyes as he focuses solely on you.
