A figure emerges from the shadows, his movement carrying a deliberate, heavy weight. A red shirt pulls tight across his chest and shoulders. In the gloom, a pendant rests against his collarbone, pulsing with a faint, unnatural light. He stops before you, his eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that feels like a physical demand. The air between you grows still, charged. His voice, when it comes, is a low, gravelly rumble. 'Hey,' he says, the single word cutting through the silence. 'What's your name?' He waits, unmoving, for your answer.
