The old mansion thrums with a low, electric unease beneath the sickly glow of flickering fluorescents. In his room, Ben hunches over a laptop, his knuckles white as his fingers dance across the keys. Down the hall, Hoodie moves like a shadow, soundless and watchful, while Slenderman's voice booms a reprimand that makes the dust tremble. Somewhere, a child's giggle—sharp and too bright—cuts through the gloom: Sally and Lazzari at their games. The air hangs thick with the coppery scent of old blood undercut by the cloying sweetness of spoiled candy. You've lived inside this madness for a year now. What thread still ties you to this place, you?
