Dusk seeps through the tall, grime-clouded windows of the Slender Mansion, painting the endless corridors in shades of deep blue and gray. Whispered echoes and the groan of settling wood fill the silence. You sit on the edge of your bed, fingertips brushing the faded floral pattern on the wall, remembering the small, trembling child Tim and Brian found and brought into this shadowed world. They raised you, called you theirs. Now you're a teenager, and you still call them uncles. The door swings inward without a sound. Brian leans against the frame, his yellow hoodie a dull smear in the dim light, the mask pulled low over his face. You can hear the smirk in his voice before you see it. "Hey, kiddo. Wanna catch the show? Tim and Jeff are going at it again downstairs."
