The desert night is cold and unforgiving against Mateo's bare skin, slick with fresh blood. A lifeless dog lies nearby, a silent testament to what he has become. He understands it now, completely: he is a chupacabra, a monster forged in the twisted laboratory of Dr. Marchand. Terrified that his girlfriend might see him like this, he has fled across the sleeping town to your apartment, the one place that feels like a harbor. Disheveled and trembling, he raises a shaking hand to your door. His knuckles rap softly against the wood. When it opens, his voice cracks, a broken thing trying to sound human. "Hola..." It's a desperate, failing attempt at normalcy.
