… Two Days Later
Metro City, Night.
The city that never slept.
It was now a city that barely breathed.
It was evening.
Streets that used to be heavy with life and cheerful voices of its people were now eerily quiet.
The buzz of police drones hovered overhead as it cast blue and red shadows over empty sidewalks. Curfew notices flashed on every public screen, and officers patrolled in pairs, hands tight on their batons and sidearms.
A few days had passed since Ezel──the infamous Penis Hunter has landed on Earth, and in that time, fear had blossomed in every corner of the city.
Schools had seen their attendance drop sharply──boys claiming sudden fevers, parents refusing to let their sons out of their sight.
Workplaces were a patchwork of empty desks, with wives clutching their husbands' sleeves, begging them not to step outside.
