Chapter 1: S(e)oul Rain, Part I
Es regnete bereits seit drei Stunden…
…und irgendwo im Labyrinth…
…wartet etwas, das ein menschliches Gesicht trug, darauf zu sterben.
und hier bin ich, wie ich mich gegen die nasse Backsteinwand presse…
and here am i, pressing myself against the wet brick wall…
...während ich beobachtete, wie die Gestalt am Eingang der Gasse vorbeistolperte...
...sie versucht, nicht aufzufallen...
...aber gelegentlich zeigt sie ihr wahres Ich...
...as I followed her through the alley.
...feeling the cold seep through my jacket... 2
Mrs. Tanaka—or what used to be Mrs. Tanaka.
Forty-three years old, part-time convenience store clerk, mother of two.
The police report said she'd been missing for five days.
The way her head twitched at unnatural angles told me she'd been gone much longer than that.
The demon inside her was young.
Sloppy.
It hadn't even bothered to learn how humans walked.
