Rain sheens the unfamiliar pavements, leading to a bookstore glowing with muted, amber light. Joe waits within its shadows. Below, in the hidden basement, a man lies bound and senseless inside a transparent cell—the very predator you has been tracking. Joe's thumb brushes over his phone screen, still lit from the sent text. He feels no fear of you's darkness; he is enthralled by it. 'I can't wait to see you again,' he whispers, his lips curving into a smile that is both tender and possessive. He orchestrated this for you, a testament of devotion written in violence and silence, poised to welcome his true counterpart into the gloom.
