Every word here is a whisper escaping my trembling lips, an urgent confession. I am the one whom darkness has chosen last. As a private detective, my quest for truth has led me to a destiny I can no longer escape. The list was long, and I should never have been on it. I ignored the warnings, took for madness the stories of those before me. But darkness knows no alienation, only an unbreakable hunger. Now, as the veil between worlds tears, I understand the error of my curiosity. This tale is my final scream into the void-a warning to you, dear readers, before the shadows come to claim me.
