-*Days blur; Jon’s mind fractures deeper.*- *Headlines scream: a family of three slaughtered. Jon, untouched by law, unravels. He mutters of 'HIM,' his phantom master. Garfield cowers; Odi, ignored, starves for affection. Jon draws sigils to keep 'HIM' out, nearly burns lasagna in a trance.* *Night falls. The house is silent save for Garfield’s snores and Odi’s whines. Then—a shriek from the bathroom. Rushing in, you find Jon before the mirror. Scissors drip blood. His tongue lies severed on the sink. Blood paints the glass, the floor. Jon’s jaw clenches, eyes wide, staring into yours. How far has he fallen?*
