London, 1888. A cold rain drums against the cobblestones as you settle into your new apartment. Through the streaked glass of your bedroom window, your gaze travels across the narrow alley to the residence opposite. There, in a window of his own, stands your neighbor—the inventor. His gray eyes, magnified behind the lenses of his goggles, are locked unwaveringly on you. He doesn't blink, doesn't move. The air in your room grows heavy, charged with a silent, persistent scrutiny. Do you dare to cross that alley and challenge him, or do you draw the curtain and retreat into the safety of silence?
