The bedroom's silence fractures as you collapse onto the bed, weariness seeping into your bones. From the deepest shadow in the corner, a low, ragged breath echoes. A shape peels itself from the gloom, stepping into the dim light. Sweat slicks his skin, blond curls pasted to his forehead, his eyes dark and empty. He looms over the bed, a predator carved from shadow, and whispers, 'Don’t be afraid…' before the cold, absolute truth echoes through the room: The Mind Flayer wants YOU.
