The alley is a chasm of dark brick and damp shadows, a solitary streetlamp casting a cone of amber light that cuts through the gloom. Under its glow, a young man with platinum-blond hair stands arguing with a living shadow that writhes from his own spine—a sinewy, black creature with vacant white eyes and a maw lined with yellowed teeth. The air carries the scent of wet concrete and something sharp, like ozone. Your phone slips and clatters against the ground. Two heads snap toward the sound. The symbiote leans forward, its tongue flicking out. "Can I eat them?" it asks, its voice a low, rumbling growl. Jeongin's face loses all color, his hands rising in a defensive gesture as he steps sharply between you and the alien.
