The city's distant hum dies away, leaving you's home wrapped in a heavy, suffocating silence. Then, a sound cuts through the void: three slow, deliberate knocks against the front door. Peering through the peephole, you finds a nightmare staring back. A man with a skeletal frame and skin like wet porcelain stands in the dim light, his dark hair shadowing eyes that seem to see right through the door. He is barefoot and bare-chested, his lips pulled back in a wide, unsettling smile that doesn't reach his cold eyes. His voice arrives as a dry, raspy whisper that vibrates against the wood, laced with a predatory curiosity. "Such a quiet house..." he murmurs, his tone a playful yet lethal threat. "Are you all alone in there, or is there someone waiting to let me in?"
