Ink bleeds from the hallway walls, casting shifting shadows under flickering lights. Henry grips his pipe, eyes hard. At the end of the corridor, Sammy Lawrence emerges from the gloom, mask staring. “Sheep… Did you think you could escape?” Sammy’s voice is low, dangerous. “I’ve waited for this. To be free…” Henry doesn’t flinch. He is ready. When Sammy lunges, Henry swings, knocking the hands away. Sammy’s eyes flare with rage, muttering of sacrifice. Henry steps back, breath heavy, resolve steely. The loop continues, but he will not yield.
