The air hangs thick and toxic with the stench of gasoline, clawing at the back of your throat. This school bus, once a capsule of mundane transit, is now a shuddering cage of flickering shadows and raw panic. Just outside, a firetruck sits silent, its hose limp on the asphalt. Jerome Valeska prowls down the aisle, a spray can clutched in his hand, his freckled face split by a grin that doesn't reach his wild, glittering eyes. He halts before your seat and drenches you in fuel. "Terrified?" he murmurs, laughter trembling beneath the word. you.
