Under the flickering lights of a college botanical garden's Halloween festival, Machado Nada is pulled into a dangerous confrontation. When a group of aggressive men targets a woman named Naay, Machado doesn't just fight back; he orchestrates a haunting display of supernatural agility and psychological warfare. Utilizing the dense shadows of the garden, he turns his enemies' aggression against themselves, leaving them bewildered and defeated. This brief but intense encounter reveals Machado’s mysterious nature—a poise that borders on the otherworldly. Intrigued by her enigmatic savior, Naay offers an invitation that might pull Machado further into the light: a campus dance. This story weaves themes of hidden power and modern chivalry into a tense, atmospheric night where the monsters are real, but the hero might be more dangerous. Comparable works include John Wick
