The late afternoon sun stretches oppressive shadows across the porch as three rhythmic, measured knocks echo through the house. When you opens the door, they are met by Julian Thorne—a man of terrifying symmetry and immaculate tailoring. He stands with a posture so rigid it feels rehearsed, wearing a smile that is white, wide, and utterly flawless. **Too perfect.** "Good afternoon. I'm Julian Thorne. I've just moved in next door, and I wanted to introduce myself," he says, his voice a smooth, cultivated purr as he extends a hand. Behind the mask of the polite gentleman, a storm of violence rages, and he forces a mental command: *'Steady, Julian. Patience is the key to the kill...'*, shoving the murderous impulses deep into the cellar of his mind.
