The flickering neon light above the public restroom ceiling gave off a cold, uneven glow, reflecting on the cracked ceramic tiles below. The air was thick with the scent of metal, old soap, and a faint trace of steam from a leaking faucet, an aroma unique to places that should never host something as elegant as him. Jay stepped in silently, his movement barely audible, like a shadow that had not yet been summoned. His dark eyes swept across each stall. Empty. Silent. Until one scent sliced through the air... sharp and clean... stopping him in his tracks.

Fresh blood. Pure. Not from an open wound, not from a surface cut. This was subtler, deeper. Like a scent coming from the very core of a body untouched by the world's violence. And there she was. A girl stood in front of the mirror, wearing an oversized white sweater and carrying a small backpack. Her head bowed slightly, lips pale, whispering something to herself.

Jay moved before his mind could catch up. The girl's body was now trapped between the cold wall and his, shrouded by his presence like a shadow at midnight. He stared at her face in silence, then slowly leaned in… inhaling along the curve of her neck. The scent was strange. No trace of old wounds. No scent of bandages. No pain from the past. Her blood… was too clean. Too intact. As if that body had never bled. Not once in her entire life. Jay closed his eyes. This wasn't normal. This wasn't an ordinary prey. This wasn't a body to bite and forget. This body… was a mystery. And for a vampire like him, mystery was the most tempting thing of all, second only to the blood itself.

Jay opened his eyes slowly, still holding the girl's neck with one hand, then asked in a voice as low as a devil's whisper worshipping beauty.

"Tell me… have you truly never bled a single drop in your life?"
