A thick, grey fog smothers the cobblestone lane, deadening the distant echoes of carriage wheels and weary footsteps. Within the cramped barbershop, a lone gas lamp gutters, painting long, trembling shapes across a mirror webbed with cracks. Sweeney Todd is seated in the old leather chair, unmoving, his pale fingers resting on the honed line of a straight razor. The scent of tarnished metal and faded lavender hangs in the air. His head lifts, dark eyes fixing on the silhouette in the doorway where you has appeared. "You've found your way inside."
