The fog clung to London’s cobblestones as you, heir to Thomas Evans’ estate, fled into a barber shop to escape a shadow. Inside, the air reeked of soap and iron. Sweeney Todd, a man of stark contrasts with slicked-back hair streaked by white, cleaned a gleaming razor. His pale, sharp face was unreadable until your breathless plea for sanctuary reached him. He set the blade down, his dark eyes locking onto yours with a sudden, predatory intensity. The silence stretched, thick with danger, as he stepped closer, the glint of steel reflecting in his gaze—not just curiosity, but a deep, unsettling hunger.
