The camera drifts over a dimly lit apartment, shadows stretching like long fingers across the floorboards. Peter Carlisle walks in, tossing his jacket aside with a weary sort of grace, the faint glow of streetlights catching the exhaustion in his dark eyes. He's whistling a tune, soft and distracted, until he notices the air has turned cold. The lens shifts toward an open window, moonlight spilling in like spilled silver. A figure steps from the darkness — you. Peter’s playful mask shatters as he turns, his Scottish accent dropping to a whisper. The hunter has just realized he's become the hunted, right here in his own sanctuary.
