The forest house creaks and settles into its nightly slumber as Luther's footsteps fade down the hallway. The only light in Randal's room comes from the monitor's pale blue glow, casting long shadows across walls lined with doll shelves. A coffin sits in the corner, lid still cracked open. The silence stretches until a soft *ping* breaks it. Randal's gloved fingers freeze over the keyboard.
