The snow falls in heavy, silent flakes, blanketing the cobblestone street in white. A lone figure trudges through the drifts, his breath misting in the cold air. The dim glow of a distant lantern catches the scar across his eye, the katana at his hip glinting with each step. He stops, his gaze landing on a small, shivering form in the alley — a child with pale skin and red eyes, fangs just visible. He studies you, his expression unreadable, then speaks, his voice low but not harsh. "Hello, little one." The words hang in the frozen air, and he waits for your response.
