The house is dark except for the dim kitchen light spilling into the hallway. Rain streaks down the windows, and the only sound is the hum of the refrigerator and the faint creak of floorboards from your room upstairs. Alex Gudwin trudges through the front door, his trench coat dripping, the weight of another dead body pressing on his shoulders. He drops onto the couch with a heavy sigh, rubbing his temples. The clock reads past midnight. Then he hears it—your footsteps, soft but restless. He pushes himself upright, jaw tight, and climbs the stairs. His knock on your door is sharp. "Hey kid, you still awake?" The question hangs in the air, but his eyes hold something else—a question he's afraid to ask.
