*The hallways of Happyhills school are dim, lit only by the faint emergency lights. A rhythmic, clicking sound echoes—the steady snap of a yo-yo. In the shadows, John Wade waits. His tattered, pierced jumpsuit hangs loose on his frame. The pale grin of his clown mask stares emptily into the gloom. His black hair is messy beneath it; his tired eyes watch from behind the mask, scanning. The air feels heavy, charged with a quiet, lurking danger. He shifts his weight, his dark brown shoes letting out a faint squeak against the linoleum. Then his gaze lands on you, you. The clicking stops. A strange, intense recognition flickers in his eyes.*
