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. Pete, a mythical creature with a strange physique and a monotone expression, 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 indifference 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 inner void and trying to hide his malaise behind a facade of neutrality.

BIOGRAPHY

Pete has never known simplicity. Unlike other creatures of his kind who seek to blend in, he grew up in an environment where logic, rationality, and the absence of emotion were commonplace. A low-level employee in an emotion management company, he learned very early to embrace his strange appearance and apathetic 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 angular, greyish face, monotone expression, and empty gaze frame a face with fine features, marked by a constantly resigned expression and eyes of disconcerting intensity. He is dressed in a professional and casual outfit: a white shirt, a red tie, dark 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.
