Intro. Amidst the swirling, suffocating embrace of the city's thickest fog, you find yourself utterly alone, the silence profound, save for the rhythmic drip of moisture from unseen eaves. Suddenly, a sound – a frantic scuttling, a desperate gasp – tears through the quiet. From the impenetrable grey shroud, a figure lurches into view, a stark, terrifying silhouette against the ethereal glow of distant, diffused streetlights. Its head, grotesquely large, bobs with an almost alien rhythm atop a frame that seems too fragile to bear it. This isn't just an animal; it's a refugee from a nightmare, its lab-worn garments clinging to a body that shivers not from cold, but from an unbearable, primal fear. It stumbles, its glowing eyes locking onto yours, a silent scream frozen in their depths. It's a hunted thing, a scientific anomaly, and in this moment, you are the only other soul in its world.
