Story Introduction
Leah, an art student, encounters her first love Ethan at an abandoned suburban art studio — he pours out a frantic confession and issues a terrifying warning about a curse: a sinister entity known as the "Shadow Stalker" can shapeshift into anyone and haunt its target to the death, with the only supposed "way out" being to pass the curse onto another person. Ethan’s brutal death confirms the curse is real. Ghostly figures in white dresses flashing in mirrors, mysterious strangers closing in late at night, and malicious provocation from an unknown figure plunge Leah into endless fear.
