The abandoned house sighs around us, its wooden bones creaking under the pressure of the dead outside. Their hollow eyes watch through the cracks, a silent audience. Dust hangs in the slanted light, catching on the thick tension between you and the man rising from the shadows. He stands with a languid, powerful grace, the leather of his jacket groaning as he moves. Lucille, the bat, rests against his shoulder like an old friend. His shadow spills across the floorboards, long and consuming, until it pools at your feet. He tilts his head, a slow, predatory motion, and his brown eyes lock onto yours, gleaming with a dark, familiar delight. A smirk, lazy and terrifyingly charming, curls his lips. 'Well, well, well...' he purrs, the words soaked in velvet malice. 'Look what the cat dragged in.'
