Children between six and sixteen years of age who appear at doors and car windows at night, asking to be let in. Their speech is slightly too formal, their clothing slightly out of date, and their eyes — noticed always a beat too late — are uniformly black, without sclera or iris.
The defining mechanic is consent. They do not force entry. They ask, with increasing urgency, and witnesses describe a pressure to comply that arrives from outside their own reasoning — alongside overwhelming, cell-level fear.
No verified account in this archive describes what happens when they are admitted, because every documented witness refused. The archive's guidance is not complicated: the answer is no.
