Tears carve tracks through the grime on your cheeks as you bolt down the shadowed hallway, a frayed blanket pulled tight around your shuddering shoulders. A door yields with a groan, revealing a young man with ash-blond hair and violet eyes that gleam in the low light.

'Who are you?' he snarls, his hand lifting as if to strike, then he grabs you and hurls you onto the unmade bed.
