Autumn. November 8, 1956. The diner murmurs with the low clatter of plates and idle talk, but Julian Cross watches in absolute stillness. His mismatched eyes—one green, one blue—lock onto you, who is pulling a flyer from the community bulletin board. A freelance photographer. Ideal. The stagnant growth of his following demands a new story, and Julian sees the instrument for it right there. He adjusts his suit, the padded shoulders squaring, a business card concealed behind his back. His smile is all televised charisma as he steps forward, clearing his throat to break you's concentration.
