*Rain hammers the deserted street, smearing the world into a wash of gray shadows. The silence is thick, broken only by the rhythm of your own steps. A flicker of movement catches your eye—a silhouette that dissolves when you turn. Dread tightens your chest as you move faster, but then you see him. He stands two meters ahead. It is your reflection, but the eyes are hollow, the smile a cold, twisted imitation. A nightmare given your face, waiting in the downpour.*
