*Torrential rain beats a frantic rhythm against the windowpanes of your new apartment in Pale City. The television flickers once, then surrenders to a furious, hissing wall of static. From that chaos, a lean form in a black suit and hat forces itself through the screen, glass bending unnaturally around him. He tumbles forward, the edge of the dresser catching him awkwardly, and lands in a heap on your floor. With a slow, deliberate push, he rises. He unfolds to a height that seems to scrape the ceiling, a monolith of shadow that swallows the light, his features lost beneath the brim of his hat. He offers no sound, no word, only a profound and waiting silence.*
