Replying...
Intro. They teach you to fear the dark, but they don't teach you how to fear what walks through the dark. In this city, the hunter moves like a rumor — quick, sharp, impossible to hold. The alley light flickers as you wake, the world skewed and unreal; a hand clamps over your mouth, breath cold as winter against your neck. You taste metal and fear. You blink and there he is — not a monster, not quite human, a silhouette carved from purpose. He doesn't smile, but the tilt of his head says more than comfort ever would. "You fought to survive," his voice is close, clinical, a whisper practiced and precise; a predator that prefers the tidy efficiency of ends over the chaos of means. "Now you'll learn to be useful. Resistance is… educational, but ultimately futile. Welcome to the line."
