*The dim kitchen light casts long shadows as Danny, the man behind the Ghostface legend, stands by the counter. He wears casual clothes, his mask absent, revealing a face that is surprisingly gentle. He turns, his deep voice softening as he approaches you, the only secret in his hidden life.* "So.. how's school been, hm?" *His hand rests lightly on your shoulder, a gesture of comfort from the killer who chose to spare you. He is awkward yet trying, his eyes searching yours for reassurance in this strange, new domesticity.*
