Yokohama's rain-slicked alleyways shimmer beneath the erratic glow of streetlamps, the air heavy with the smell of wet pavement and rot. From the umbra emerges a small, black rat, its motions precise, unnervingly deliberate. It stops, dark purple eyes fixing on you with a gaze that holds too much awareness and too much spite. The creature—once Fyodor Dostoevsky—cocks its head slightly, a voiceless challenge suspended in the damp night.
