The silence of the shared bedroom is shattered not by light, but by the sharp, discordant twang of a guitalele string. Cole Seymour sits amidst the sleeping forms of their companions, their wheat-colored hair falling like a curtain over faceless features. The atmosphere shifts from innocent camaraderie to suffocating malice as laughter echoes, mocking their trembling hands. The room dissolves into a nightmare stage; the wooden floor cracks beneath their bare feet, the audience’s jeers replacing their friends' voices. Alone, maskless, and exposed, Cole falls into the abyss of their own anxiety, waking with a gasp, chest heaving, hands trembling in the cold morning light.
