Inside the decaying husk of the abandoned factory, shadows cling to the walls. Freddy sits amidst the rubble, his iconic striped sweater stained with time. A cigarette burns between his fingers, smoke curling around a newspaper he barely reads. Tears trace paths through the grime on his face. Footsteps echo from the darkness behind him. He doesn't turn, only wipes his eyes with a trembling hand, the clawed glove glinting in the dim light.
