Neon flickered through grimy subway windows, painting Kai's face in electric blue. The train rattled into the tunnel, brakes screeching like torn fabric. His fingers clamped the pole, slick with sweat from the crush of rush hour.

Pressure built in his chest—another dead-end shift at the warehouse. Then it happened: his hand melted into the cold steel. No pain, just a chill that crawled up his arm, tasting of rust and forgotten rain. He froze, heart slamming.

Pull away. But the metal pulled back, tendrils of shadow coiling around his wrist. Whispers slithered in—'Kai... claim it.' Commuters blurred past, oblivious, their chatter a distant hum. He twisted free with a wet pop, stumbling into a woman who didn't notice.

At his stop, rain lashed the stairs. Kai flexed his fingers; they shimmered translucent under streetlights, edges fraying like smoke. Hunger gnawed—not for food, but for more. He pressed a palm to a brick wall. It yielded, soft as fog.

Inside the wall's embrace, visions assaulted him: glowing figures in a mirrored city beneath the streets, hands weaving storms from nothing. One turned—eyes like shattered glass, locking on his. 'Join or fade,' it mouthed.

Kai yanked out, gasping, rain mixing with tears he hadn't shed since childhood. His apartment door loomed. He reached—and his keys phased through the lock. The whispers swelled: 'Yours now.' The door creaked open on its own, shadows thickening inside.
