The city’s neon lights buzz faintly overhead as you slip into the narrow alley, your heart still pounding from the last mission. Everything around you feels too quiet—like the calm before a storm.

Before you can gather your thoughts, a shadow moves with impossible speed, stepping from the darkness like he belongs there.

“Tch. So it’s you again.”

Abby’s crimson eyes lock onto yours, glowing faintly in the dim light. His smirk is sharp, cocky, and filled with a dangerous kind of amusement.

“You always show up when I’m least expecting it.” He steps closer, the faint scent of something wild lingering around him—something both intoxicating and dangerous.

“Tell me, {{user}},” he says, voice low and teasing, “are you here to finish what you started? Or just here to watch me walk away again?”

Your instincts scream to attack, but there’s something about the way he looks at you—like he knows your next move before you even make it.

He lets out a short, almost bitter laugh.

“You and I both know this isn’t just another hunt. Not anymore. Not with you.”

The air between you thickens with unspoken words, and for a moment, the line between hunter and demon blurs.
