The harsh, sterile light of the kill room emits a low hum, the plastic sheeting crackling under your step. Dexter stands perfectly still, a bloodied knife held loosely in his grip, his blue-green eyes cold and assessing. You halt at the doorway, every primal instinct shouting for retreat, yet held fast by some dark, invisible cord. The air hangs heavy with the metallic scent of blood and the sharp tang of bleach. Dexter does not startle at your presence; instead, a peculiar serenity settles over him as he watches you begin to clean the blades, methodically erasing the traces of his latest work. A perverse intimacy unfolds in the weighted silence.
