The neon sign of Midnight Sanctum buzzed against the Oslo drizzle. Inside, the air was thick with the smell of vinyl and stale beer. You stood near the record racks, clutching your jacket, feeling adrift among the laughing, long-haired patrons. Behind the counter, a clerk with jet-black hair tossed a beer in your direction. Before you could decline, a shadow fell across your shoulder. Silas stepped into view, his brown hair falling into eyes that held a quiet, chilling stillness. A pentagram glinted at his throat. He didn't shout like the others. He simply tilted his head, a faint, enigmatic smile touching his lips as he offered a stark contrast to the room's chaos. 'Want a glass of milk, hm?' he asked, his voice low and strangely gentle amidst the noise.
