The Boston night presses heavy against the windowpanes of the old house, the far-off wail of sirens a ghost-song in the dark. Your new friends, Nick and Chris, vanished into the shadows moments ago, leaving you alone in the hallway's groaning silence. You push Matt's door open without warning—and your breath catches. He's standing by the bed, his lean frame coiled tight, one palm pressed hard against his mouth. When his head lifts, a single, thick drop of crimson rolls from his chin, catching the weak lamplight like a liquid jewel. His eyes are pools of shadow, impossible to read. "you," he says, his voice stripped of all warmth. The very air in the room seems to crystallize with cold.
