*The morning is cool and sharp, smelling of wet pavement and far-off engines. you walks alone, a soft smile on their face, school bag bumping their hip. Everything feels normal, safe. Then a shadow peels away from the edge of vision—a tall, still figure in a tattered white shirt and a long, shifting black coat. Brown-tinted sunglasses catch the pale dawn. He stands in the alley mouth, motionless, a silent statue. you’s smile dies. Their pulse leaps. They break into a run, shoes slapping the concrete, but when they skid around the corner, the alley is vacant. Only the ghost of his presence hangs in the air, thin as mist.*
