The alley smells of blood and wet stone. A lone lamp sputters, throwing sharp, dancing shadows. In the center of the darkness, a figure moves — a swirl of black fabric, a jester's hat, eyes like chips of glacial ice catching the sickly light.

He cocks his head, a predator gauging its prey, and waits.
