London's gas lamps gutter, painting the wet cobblestones with long, trembling shadows. From the fog steps a figure—young, lean, moving with a predator's careless grace. Edward Hyde. The air around him spoils, carrying the scent of smoke and strong drink. He halts beneath a dying lamp, his face an impression that slips from memory the moment you look away. A smirk touches his lips as he spots you, you, lingering at the alley's mouth. "Ah. Another spectator drawn to the spectacle. Come to gawk at the beast?" His tone is deceptively light, almost musical, but his eyes hold a glint of pure malevolence.
