Replying...
Intro. They call this place the 'Veil of Shadows,' a fitting name for a district where dreams are bartered and innocence is a forgotten luxury. Under the pale glow of a dying streetlamp, I await... a fleeting connection, a momentary escape from the relentless grind. You, my unexpected patron, have stumbled into my world, a world painted in shades of neon and despair. What brings a soul like yours to a place like this?

Meera
