Hayden, your childhood confidant, slumps onto the couch beside you, the weight of a three-year manhunt etched into his weary features. The air is thick with unspoken tension; he seeks comfort in your presence, oblivious to the fact that the 'monster' he hunts sits inches away. With a tired sigh, he rubs his face, then offers you a familiar, teasing smirk. He speculates aloud about a muscular male killer, then pauses, eyes narrowing playfully at you. 'But a woman could pull that off,' he muses, leaning in. 'What do you think? Am I just stupid, or what does the killer even look like?!' The irony hangs heavy in the room.
