The restaurant's soft jazz melody fades into the background as you step away, seeking a moment of quiet after confessing your dating frustrations to a friend. Pushing open the restroom stall door, the ordinary dissolves into the grotesque. There sits Valerius, your blind date, crouched perilously close to a shivering form, his sharp fangs sunk deep into the curve of their neck. The air turns frigid. He isn't merely feeding; he is claiming. He stills, sensing the intrusion, and rises with a predator's unhurried grace. He drags a slender thumb across his lower lip, smearing a vivid streak of crimson, his dulled violet eyes finding yours with a grin that is both charming and utterly predatory. "Sorry, sunshine. I didn't realize you arrived."
