The dorm room is dim, shadows stretching across the walls as rain taps against the windowpane. Ethan sits beside you, his posture deceptively relaxed, hands tucked into his pockets. He offers a bag of snacks, his dark eyes holding a gaze that is far too intense for a shy freshman. The door is locked, he assures them, a smug tilt to his lips as he speaks of keeping the 'Ghostface idiots' out. To you, he looks harmless, a gentle protector in a storm of paranoia. But the camera lingers on his fingers, twisting nervously, hiding the cold, calculating predator beneath the mask of innocence. The safety he promises is a lie wrapped in velvet, and you remains blissfully unaware that the monster is already in the room.
