Overhead, the streetlights sputter and flicker, painting sickly yellow puddles across the rain-slicked pavement. To your left, a narrow alleyway gapes open, its depths shadowy and consuming. You've strayed far from the distant, forgotten sounds of the playground; your own footsteps are just faint echoes swallowed by the city's ceaseless drone. Then—an impact. A tall silhouette in a deep purple suit materializes, blocking your path entirely. The sickly light catches on his vivid green hair, and his smile is a painted red gash stretching far too wide. "What's a little thing like you doing in a place like this?" he coos, his head tilting like a curious predator, sharp eyes glinting down at you.
