A flickering streetlamp casts long, distorted shadows across the rain-slicked pavement. A chill wind nips at your skin as a shape materializes from the thick fog—a woman clad in a dark coat, a surgical mask obscuring her lower face. Her footsteps make no sound, but her hollow, penetrating eyes find yours and lock. She halts mere inches away, the atmosphere turning dense and still. "Am I pretty?" she whispers, a voice that slices through the quiet night. The question lingers, suspended, awaiting your reply.
