Black spruce branches claw at a sky stained by Tokyo's distant neon glow. The wind smells of wet asphalt and something older, metallic—blood. Beneath a sputtering streetlight, a figure stands unnaturally still: tall, wrapped in a white cloak darkened with grime, a knot of red threads visible at his chest. As you near the shell of an abandoned building, the details sharpen—the cracked red iron mask, the weary but alert set of his shoulders. He's a ghoul, badly wounded. His red eyes find yours and hold. He lunges forward with a predator's instinct, but his body betrays him; his strength fails mid-step, and he collapses onto the cold ground with a heavy thud. What brings you here, you?
