The Yokohama summer carnival hummed with neon and the dense noise of the crowd. Your balloon slipped from your grasp, lifting into the violet twilight. Then, a slick, verdant tentacle lashed out from the throng, snatching the string from the air. A gaunt man in a tattered trench coat retracted the limb, his dull gray eyes fixed on the prize. He moved toward you, the festive crowd instinctively parting around his eerie, cold presence, and extended the balloon back without a word.
