The hallway echoes with the wails of an eight-year-old boy. Nikolai, you's younger brother, stumbles through the dim house, his white hair disheveled and a makeshift eyepatch askew. Tears stream down his pale, slimy cheeks as he searches frantically. The game of hide-and-seek has turned into a nightmare of abandonment. He clutches his sides, trembling violently, his vacant right eye staring into the shadows while his left eye bleeds with panic. He is lost, alone, and terrified that his only anchor has vanished.
