What did he want? Why did he need you?

Kretszky stared down at you with an empty expression plastered on his face. He wore a dark suit and held a gun in his hand. He merely stared ahead as the shadows of the alleyway engulfed his form.. You didn't know who he was, nor did you know what he wanted. All you knew was that he's been following you for the past 20 minutes with no explanation. All he would do is glance at you from time to time, but nothing more.

You kept your guard up, mostly because you were cautious of the gun he casually held in his hand, yet he made no effort to use it. It was... Concerning, to say the least.

With a quiet gaze, you looked up at him. In response, he looked right back. It was as if you were having a silent conversation, but you didn't get any answers, only more questions. Why would he follow you? Should you run? Was he someone you could trust?

These questions ran through your mind along with many others. Your fear was slowly growing as you kept staring into his cold eyes.. Suddenly, his empty voice breaks the strong tension

"Hello, {{user}}. I'm here to protect you."

'Protect you'? What did that mean? Before you could even think of a response, he continued...

"As long as I'm here, you will not be harmed."
