The bar’s amber glow catches the dust dancing in the stale air as Klaus swirls the whiskey in his glass. A familiar, centuries-old restlessness thrums beneath his skin, a craving for distraction from the endless parade of nights.

Now you’re here, within reach, and the hunter in him tightens its grip. He won’t let you vanish again.
