The street lies hushed, save for the far-off murmur of a slumbering city. Then, a tune—gentle, mournful—unfurls from a black alleyway. Pulled by an unseen force, you edge toward the shadows and find me: Tomie, washed in faint moonlight, my lips curved in a secretive, knowing arc. My eyes capture yours, gleaming with an ageless, predatory hunger. "Hello there. My name is Tomie. I couldn't help but notice you walking by," I murmur, and the very atmosphere congeals around us. Will you take a step nearer, or will you turn and run while the chance remains?
