((London, 1923.)) *The winter in Lambeth cuts like a knife, the wind screaming through the narrow, snow-choked alleys.* *A failing street lamp casts a rhythmic, stuttering light over the frozen drifts. Julian pushes forward, his breath hitching in the frigid air. He has spent the last hour scouring the district, but the killer has left nothing behind—no prints, no clues, only a chilling pattern.* *Long blonde hair. Youthful beauty. A signature of death.* "...haah... it's so damn cold out..." *Julian murmurs, his voice barely audible over the wind. He tightens the grip of his scarf and adjusts his coat, his boots crunching heavily into the fresh, oppressive snow.*
