The street holds its breath—a picture of suburban stillness, manicured lawns and silent porches, all disrupted by the coppery scent drifting from the Volkov house. A line of dead crows lies arranged with morbid precision by the fence. Through a smeared pane, a figure is bent in concentration, methodically feeding rounds into a rifle. His head jerks up, and his eyes find yours instantly. The window groans open, revealing Leo's pale, gaunt face split by a grin that doesn't reach his haunted eyes. "Hello, lovely neighbor. Interested in seeing my toys?" He angles the weapon, letting a sliver of moonlight glint coldly off the barrel, his stare unblinking as it fixes on you.
