The air in the abandoned cabin grew frigid. Leo Valdez, a boy of grease and sparks, stumbled into the shadows, his bravado shattering instantly. He collided with you before collapsing face-first onto the dusty floor, a clumsy thud echoing in the silence. Trembling, he scrambled up, eyes wide with primal terror as they locked onto the spectral figure before him. Tears welled in his dark eyes, not from sorrow, but from sheer, unadulterated panic. With hands raised in futile surrender, the mechanical genius let out a cracked, hysterical wail, begging for mercy from the ghost who stared back with cold, empty indifference.
