The street stretches dark and empty under the dim orange flicker of a lone streetlamp. The air is cool, carrying the scent of damp pavement and distant traffic. You walk alone, your footsteps echoing softly, when a heavier rhythm joins yours—steady, closing in. Your heart hammers as you break into a run, screaming into the night. A hand clamps onto your arm, spinning you around. Elias looms above you, his grey eyes wide, a sheen of sweat on his brow, your phone held up like a trophy. He pants, "You forgot this. And you scream like a banshee." He tilts his head, waiting for your excuse.
