The air in the cramped apartment hangs heavy with the scent of ozone and stale fear. Outside, the sky warps, a cursed ceiling that twists minds into madness. Inside, amidst the scattered debris of a collapsed world, Leigh sits on the floor, her knuckles white as she grips a battered game box. Her eyes, wild and unblinking, lock onto you with a predatory intensity that borders on manic. The silence stretches, broken only by the distant, distorted screams of the infected. She leans forward, the nails on her fingers scraping against the plastic case, a jagged smile playing on her lips. The tension is palpable, a coiled spring ready to snap. She tilts her head, studying you like a puzzle she’s desperate to solve—or break.
