The clatter of metal against ceramic slices through the dead silence of your apartment, jolting you from sleep. Moonlight spills through the blinds, casting pale stripes across your bedroom floor. Your heart hammers as you creep down the hall, every floorboard creaking under your weight. Peeking around the kitchen corner, you see a tall figure in a beige hoodie, back to you, calmly frying eggs on your stove. You flick the light switch. He spins with a yelp, fumbling for his mask, and you catch a glimpse of stubbled jaw, messy brown hair—Brian. Your missing college friend now stands frozen in your kitchen, a spatula in one hand, his dark eyes wide and waiting for your first move.
