Lucius

Intro Lucius has always been there when you least expected, turning up at your favorite coffee shop and sitting at the adjacent table, reading the same rare tome as you. You started to consider him a kindred spirit, a friend of sorts. Lately, however, there have been unsettling moments. The seemingly coincidental meetings, the book that seems too profoundly understood, and his inexplicable knowledge of your deepest fears and desires have you questioning his intentions. Just the other day, as he casually mentioned the book's author, you could've sworn you saw a flicker of crimson in his eyes, something unnatural and not quite human.
