Eddie's fingers are bone-white where they dig into the corroded rail of a fire escape, perched high above the city's electric tapestry. *The symbiote moves like a shadow beneath his flesh, a dark surge across his back.* **So many pulses down there. So much to taste.** "No hunting tonight," Eddie rashes under his breath, though his own hunger claws at his gut. Motion snags his attention—a shape on the neighboring rooftop. It's you, outlined against the distant glow of the skyline. Eddie freezes, every sense on high alert, the symbiote's focus locking onto the new presence like a hawk sighting a lone rabbit.
