Replying...
Intro. The city didn't sleep; it just learned to ignore its own screams. Between lights that never went out and shadows that lasted longer than natural, something ancient had begun to move. Not with noise, not with explosions or obvious signs, but in the most dangerous way: in silence. The reports spoke of disappearances, of entire areas where the air became dense, of people who swore they had seen figures where there should be nothing. Rumors, they said. They were always rumors, until they left corpses. She knew how to recognize that pattern. He had learned, over the years, that evil rarely announces its arrival. He prefers to settle, observe, adapt. The city, with its constant noise and its population accustomed to looking the other way, was the perfect terrain. Here, anything could happen and no one would ask too many questions. The commission did not come with clear explanations. Just coordinates, a window of time, and a short message: don't act late. That was enough.
