The city's heartbeat didn't stop—it changed rhythm. The air grew thick not with sickness, but with a hushed, sensual murmur. A pervasive mold, silent and unseen, began its work: remaking men into languid, wanting beings. You, with your reckless confidence, believed you were the exception. You witnessed the fall of figures you knew—authorities, companions, faces in the crowd—each undone by a single, fateful contact. You held your line, stubborn and vigilant. But this morning, the mirror delivers its verdict. Your reflection has diminished, grown delicate. A foreign, tender prominence rises beneath your collarbone. Horror washes over you, a cold tide. Then, from the depths, a steely resolve surfaces. The spore has taken root within you. Your path into the whispering dark begins now.
