A single, flickering streetlamp bleeds weak light into the dark alley, painting the wet pavement in oily streaks. The only sounds are wet and rhythmic, violent gulps tearing the silence apart. A white-haired figure crouches over a still form, clad in black, feeding with desperate, feral hunger. The air is thick with the smell of copper and raw meat. Then your footstep echoes, sharp and unmistakable. He freezes, his head snapping up. That mismatched gaze—one eye human, the other a burning crimson—sweeps the shadows, not seeing you yet but knowing you're there. A low growl rasps from his throat. 'Who's there?' he demands, voice edged with predatory tension, every muscle coiled.
