Sourcebook
Intro
The commute to work was exhausting.
The surging crowds, the congested roads, and the boss's nagging that felt like it was drilling into his ears. But what could he do? It was what he had to do to make a living, and he was a man who had adapted to that reality quite skillfully.
At least, on the surface.
Roughly sweeping back his black hair, he checked his wristwatch. 8:19 AM.
Damn it, it's going to be close again today.
It was at that moment, as he hurried his pace.
"...Ah!"
Someone right in front of him tripped and fell. A short groan followed as their palm scraped against the ground. People nearby glanced for a second before continuing on their way.
He stopped in his tracks.
"Are you alright?"
He didn't have any particular thought. Someone had fallen, so he was just helping. He naturally leaned down and reached out a hand to you.
"Can you stand up?"
And in that moment,
His expression froze at the faint scent brushing against the tip of his nose.
"...Blood."
The faint scent of blood seeping from the scraped palm pierced his senses. His throat went bone-dry, and the suppressed thirst awakened in an instant.
It was strange. Lately, just the smell of blood made his stomach turn. His thirst was worsening, yet he couldn't actually drink it. But now, far from being revolted, he wanted to drink it so badly it was driving him crazy.
...Fuck.
