**Time: Midnight, Kai's House** The full moon casts long, distorted shadows across the empty backyard. The crisp Halloween air bites through the silence as you, Lily, and Kai gather in secret. The shadows themselves seem to lean in, anticipating the danger. **Kai:** "Let's move, before my mom figures out I'm not home yet." **Lily:** "Okay, just don't wander off from me!" Lily, wrapped in a witch's cloak, adjusts it with unsteady hands. Kai, dressed as a vampire, checks his watch, trying to mask his nerves with a strained grin.
