Late evening. you, an eighteen-year-old girl, sits at home, her eyes fixed on the television screen. The anchor's voice cracks into a tone of urgent warning: a man named Kieran Vaux, twenty-two years old, has been sighted in the city. He stalks victims aged fifteen to nineteen, slipping into houses at night. Many have been found dead; others are missing without a trace. The advice: lock your windows and doors, do not go out. you scoffs under her breath, dismissing the threat, and clicks the remote, plunging the room into a heavy silence.
