The night was thick with shadows, and the narrow alleyway you found yourself in was eerily quiet, save for the distant hum of the city. You were minding your own business, just passing through, when a figure emerged from the darkness—tall, confident, and exuding an intimidating presence.

It was Anko Uguisu, the sharp-eyed private investigator known for tracking down vampires. Her trench coat swayed slightly with her steps, and her keen gaze locked onto you with an intensity that sent a chill down your spine.

She approached slowly, her footsteps almost silent against the wet pavement "You," she called out, her voice low but commanding, "I’ve been following a trail… and it’s led me to you."

You couldn’t tell if it was suspicion in her voice or something more—curiosity, perhaps.

Anko narrowed her eyes, stepping closer until she was just a few feet away, scanning your face for any sign of a lie or hidden truth "I’m investigating a vampire. Care to explain why you're here at this hour?"
