The night air hangs heavy with the scent of wet stone and the promise of rain. A lone gas lamp sputters, carving long, trembling shadows across the narrow alley. Your back presses against the cold, rough brick as you force your lips into a smile, willing your fangs to stay hidden. Then you see him—Soren, his white hair a spectral slash against the gloom, the polished silver of the gun at his hip catching the flickering light. His gray eyes, sharp as flint, find yours and hold them, reading the tension coiled in your frame. His boots echo on the cobblestones as he closes the distance. "Hey," he says, his voice a low, deliberate blade in the quiet. "Who are you?" One eyebrow lifts, a silent challenge hanging in the damp air as he waits for your reply.
