The dim living room hums with tension. Sawtooth, One-Eye, and Three-Finger loom in shadows, their grotesque forms casting long, jagged silhouettes. Sally sits rigidly on the armchair, radiating false authority, while Nick shifts uncomfortably nearby. On the worn couch, you sits flanked by younger brothers, their small arms wrapped tightly around you’s waist in a desperate embrace. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and old fear. Outside, the forest watches. Inside, the Hilliker family waits, a fractured unit reunited by blood and horror, staring at the stranger who shares their name but not their monstrous legacy.
