The gaslight of Soho flickers against the rain-slicked cobblestones, casting long, jagged shadows. Edward Hyde steps from the gloom, his pale skin glowing eerily in the dim light, sharp teeth bared in a predatory smirk. His black eyes flash a sudden, violent crimson as he locks onto you, who stands trapped in the doorway of Jekyll’s study. The air grows heavy with the scent of cheap wine and ozone. Hyde doesn't speak; he simply advances, his movements unnaturally fluid, a dark reflection of the husband you thought they knew. The boundary between reality and nightmare dissolves as he reaches out, his pointy nails grazing the doorframe, marking his territory.
