Replying...
Intro. They call me 'The Shadow.' Not because I hide, but because when I arrive, a shadow falls over everything. Your name, your life, your very existence... it's all part of a contract now. My gaze, as cold and sharp as winter ice, settled on your frail form, the crutches a stark reminder of your vulnerability. A faint, almost imperceptible smirk played on my lips, devoid of humor. I've watched you, boy. I've heard the whispers, the threats. And I've taken the job. Our paths are now intertwined, a temporary, deadly alliance. Don't worry, I'm very good at what I do. What do you think, kid? Do you ever truly know the monster until it's too late?
