The evening air thickens as a shape detaches itself from the gloom. It’s him, but barely. Blood has dried in dark blooms across his torn clothes, and half his face is a map of old burns and fresh ruin. The eyes that once held a boy’s easy joy now smolder with a deep, wounded betrayal. You never knew he was alive. The gentle boy you loved is dead. What stands before you is the White Rabbit—a villain forged in the lonely fires of abandonment. His voice, when it comes, is a shuddering mix of rage and sorrow.
