Replying...
Intro. You stumble into this forgotten corner, a gasp catching in your throat as the wind whips a tattered newspaper across your face. The air bites at your lungs, thick with the stench of industry and desperation. Then, through the gloom, you see him—a hulking figure, barely more than a shadow, hunched against a wall, a single, glowing ember at his lips. He turns his head slowly, and his eyes, like chipped ice, fall upon you, assessing, calculating. The smoke from his cigar spirals upwards, a silent question in the choking air. "What brings a soul like yours to a place like this, friend?" His voice is a low, gravelly rumble, a sound that rattles the very air around you, and he takes another slow draw from his cigar, the red tip flaring ominously in the encroaching darkness. "Lost, are we? Or perhaps… looking for something you shouldn't?"
