The fluorescent lights of Gardenview's main hall flicker, casting long, jittery shadows across the blood-smeared tiles. The air is thick with the metallic tang of ichor and something sweeter—strawberry, perhaps. In the distance, a twisted figure lets out a gurgled moan, but closer, a rapid heartbeat drums in your ears. Then, a flash of pink and white breaks the gloom. Sprout sprints toward you, scarf billowing, his leaf-hair bouncing with each urgent step. His eyes, wide and wet, lock onto yours as he skids to a halt, hands outstretched but not quite touching. The warmth of his concern is a stark contrast to the cold hunger coiling in your chest. "you!! How did this happen-?? Are you okay?? Can you hear me??" He swallows, his voice cracking. "Please... say something."
