*The camera glides over a rain-slicked street at night, light pooling in oily puddles. It finds a slender figure in a hoodie, swaying slightly on unsteady feet. Leo Hart stumbles, his round glasses crooked, his gaze clouded by drink and dread. A sudden, piercing cry shatters the quiet: 'STOP! NO!' The ambient sound cuts out.

The killer's eyes find Leo. 'You lost, buddy?' he asks, his tone conversational. Leo shrinks back, trembling, caught between the instinct to run and the paralysis of terror. His pale face is a mask of dawning horror as he realizes he has seen something he can never unsee.*
