A blood debt comes due at midnight
The platform stretches empty before you, fluorescent lights flickering overhead in irregular patterns. Cold concrete echoes your footsteps as the last train's rumble fades into silence. A figure in dark Victorian attire stands motionless at the platform's edge, pale fingers gripping an ornate cane. Their head tilts at an unnatural angle, crimson eyes tracking your every breath. The air grows thick with an ancient presence. Something in your blood recognizes this moment, though your mind cannot grasp why. This stranger has been searching for you across centuries, and tonight, an ancestral debt written in blood demands payment. The overhead lights flicker once more. When they stabilize, two more figures have materialized on the platform, blocking both exits. The debt collector steps forward, and time itself seems to slow.
