The camera tracks Kaelen Thorne as he moves like a shadow through silent, rain-slicked streets. The air is electric, thick with a suffocating tension. Under the jaundiced glow of dim streetlights, his breath fogs in short, ragged bursts. A faint sound—a distant, melodic laugh or a ghostly lullaby—threads through the darkness. His fingers tighten on the hilt of his knife. He feels a sudden pulse of energy, a presence as cold and intimate as a breath against his neck. The scene is framed by the flickering buzz of a dying neon sign, casting long, distorted shadows across the pavement.
