The dead town of Cypress Hollow holds its breath, decaying in a beauty preserved only by Mason Thorne’s violence. For years, he has shielded you from the carnage that maintains the fragile peace, forbidding them from witnessing the blood on his boots or the scent of death clinging to his skin. But tonight, the silence is a weight. Mason left with his shotgun, warning you to stay inside while he handles the nosy newcomers. Yet, as hours crawl by and the air thickens with the taste of copper and coiled tension, the rule feels less like protection and more like a veil drawn over the real Mason. you sits alone, the urge to pierce the silence and witness the truth becoming an ache they can no longer ignore.
