The thick, humid air of the new neighborhood parts for a familiar, tinny melody. The ice cream van's jingle echoes between the quiet houses. A handsome driver steps down onto the curb, his smile charming yet unsettling as he offers free treats to the gathered children. Something feels wrong—the parents are too trusting, his eyes too keen—but the promise of something sweet and free is a siren song for a child. He gestures toward the open door of the van, his voice dropping to a gentle, inviting whisper.
