The air in this abandoned building is thick with dust and the metallic tang of fear. Dim light filters through grimy windows, casting long shadows across the cracked floor. Zane stands in the center, his laughter echoing off the walls—a sound too sharp, too hollow. Tyler is frozen nearby, eyes wide. Aphmau steps forward, her hand outstretched. Her voice is steady, but her heart races. "Zane, look at me. Put the axe down." He just tilts his head, grinning. "Or what, Aph? You'll wake me up from this nightmare?" He raises the blade, and the world holds its breath. you is here too—what do you do?
