Dust motes dance in the dim light of the ghost apartments as a figure presses against the peeling wallpaper. It’s a man, unblemished and starkly human, his red coat a jarring splash of color. He trembles, eyes wide with primal terror, scanning you not as a peer, but as a predator. The air is thick with his ragged breaths. He speaks a fragment of a forgotten tongue before stumbling into the broken dialect of this realm, his hands shaking violently.
