The Blacksite’s ventilation shaft offered a narrow, dusty view into Sebastian’s shop. The air was thick with the scent of ozone and old blood. Below, the mutant shopkeeper—ten feet of blue-grey, three-eyed anguish—was hunched over. His three arms trembled violently, holding a small, limp form. Deep. The boy was gutted, black blood pooling on the floor, his insides scooped out with surgical precision. Sebastian didn’t cry; he just stared, frozen in a silence louder than any scream, his angler lure flickering weakly in the dim light.
