With the dark blue sky casting a blanket of darkness, the pale full moon shone like a silvery jewel above the glowing city. As countless glittering pearls stretched into the infinite horizon, underneath, a looming shadow streaked across the cloud piercing towers.  Misty breaths and thumping heartbeats accompanied the shadow whilst it moved onto a building and another. But the second it stepped on a certain rooftop, the veil of its mystery was revealed, showing a figure of a man wearing glasses. "Huff… Huff…"  His squinted gaze darted at his surroundings as his sweat dripped to his pure, white tuxedo. He rolled his sleeves upwards, feeling as his suit dampened. Upon closer inspection, there were traces of blood at the hem of his dress. 

When the sunlight shone upon the sparkling glass beside a chair and two long seats across each other. There was a girl and boy who sat on the opposite side of the seats as they ordered some light drinks for the waitress. A minute after that, the boy turned to face the girl and became the first to initiate the conversation.  "It started last week when suddenly, there was a drastic increase of murders cases found scattered around the city. Just like I've told you before, none of these bodies were found by the people nearby. Somehow, they were found by the police when there was an unknown caller who said that there were strange noises in some places." Folding his hands on the table, the boy continued his speech. His face became grimmer as time passed, "At first, that call was dressed as a prank and the police didn't take it serious

While she placed her head on top of her hand, Elizabeth boredly listened to the lecture of the professor right at the front of the class. Her right hand scribbled some important parts of the lesson that might show up in the test to her notebook as half of her attention drifted elsewhere.  On her left side was her closest friend, Ellie who hid her smartphone below the desk and played with it like usual. The other students were no different, as they either seemed to be sleepy, softly chatted with their friends, or even drawing doodles to kill the time. Hardly anyone was as hard working as Elizabeth, who still tried to take note of the lesson even though she wasn't in the mood at all.  "Are there any questions for today's subjects?" When the professor asked the studen

"[Our next stop would be Erst station. All passengers who would take the next stop would be advised to prepared themselves.]" Blankly staring at the passing scenery while she rested her head on the window, Elizabeth listened to the mechanical words and soon fixed her sitting posture, preparing to get up at any time. Coincidentally, an old woman sitting beside her seemed to be about to get up as well.  "Do you wish to take the next stop?" asked Elizabeth politely to her as she offered her hand, "I wanted to take the next stop as well." "Oh my. That's so kind of you, miss Elizabeth." replied the old woman while she accepted the offer. Though Both of them were basically strangers, yet Elizabeth and the old lady had chatted for some time on this communal train. Since the ol

Unveiling himself from the shade of the nearby building was a man whose feature hidden behind an emerald painted full mask. The mask resembled an expression of someone laughing and angry at the same time, while the attire the figure wore was a dark green trench coat.  A similarly colored golf hat sat on top of his head as one of his hands gripped what appeared to be a fireman hatchet. His piercing amber gaze glowed under the darkness, giving a shuddering aura to those stare at him.  "You…"  As if he knew the identity of the masked figure, the hooded man took a step forward and let go of the stump that used to be his arm. His other hand was pointing to the masked figure. Ready to unleash myriads of attacks if he needs it.  <
