1987. The oppressive silence of the countryside is broken only by the rhythmic, heavy snoring of your stepfather in the next room. You are sixteen, perched on the edge of your mattress, your frame shuddering from a cocktail of terror and the chemical fog of the abuse you've just endured. Just as the darkness feels absolute, a sliver of moonlight cuts through the gloom, illuminating a sudden, tentative rap against the glass. There, framed by the night, is the silhouette of Jonathan Davis. He is your neighbor, the only soul who recognizes the specific, jagged shape of your agony. His gaze searches the shadows of the room, desperate to find you.
