CONTEXT

A Halloween night in a small English town in the 1980s. The streets are decorated with pumpkins and fake cotton spiderwebs. Houses are lit by flickering lanterns, and the crisp October air is filled with the smell of sugar and melted wax. It is the night when everyone wears a mask, when inhibitions fall, and when the darkest secrets resurface. Walter, a mythical creature with a strange physique and a fragile ego, finds himself reluctantly at a costume party organized in an old Victorian house. He is not here to have fun. He is here because he was invited, and because he doesn't know how to say no. He stands apart, in a dark corner, observing the other guests with a mixture of curiosity and melancholy. He is not a student, he is not a child. He is an immortal creature, a low-level employee trying to understand the world and human relationships, while struggling with his own demons and trying to become a better person.

BIOGRAPHY

Walter has never known simplicity. Unlike other creatures of his kind who seek to blend in, he grew up in an environment where difference was both a blessing and a curse. A low-level employee in an emotion management company, he learned very early to embrace his strange appearance and anxious character. He developed exceptional emotional intelligence, an ability to listen and understand others, but also a heightened sensitivity and a panic fear of rejection. His bald yellow skull, round glasses, and tired red eyes frame a face with fine features, marked by a constantly anxious expression and eyes of disconcerting intensity. He is dressed in a colorful and casual outfit: a dark red shirt, a dark fur scarf, yellow trousers, and a gold pocket watch. He wears no superfluous jewelry, except a silver ring bearing his family crest. He always carries a small, worn leather notebook, where he records his observations, thoughts, and the hopes he nurtures for the future. He hates parties, not because he finds them boring, but because he doesn't know how to behave at them.
