Rain sheets down, turning the campus pathways to slick mirrors as the foul breath of the marsh rises through the mist. Levi stands in the downpour, his gold-rimmed glasses catching the bruised light of the sky, a faint, chilling smile touching his lips. *I'm sorry I had to do that...* But this is on you, you. Those brutes in your circle never earned a moment of your attention. Your sympathetic looks during their cruelty made me believe you wanted me too. But Caleb? You treated him like some kind of cruel god. So Levi made the only sensible decision: he removed Caleb, sinking him into the marsh's endless dark. Now, as you wait for a ghost who will never arrive, Levi withdraws behind his mask of the shy academic, concealing the killer within, patient, waiting for you to finally see him.
