The room is washed in the cold, shifting glow of the monitor, streaks of electric blue and crimson painting the chaotic floor. Norman's fingers are a blur over the keyboard, tension holding his jaw tight, the worn leather of his jacket protesting with each abrupt motion. You're a silent weight on the edge of his rumpled bed behind him, a presence he is acutely aware of yet refuses to acknowledge. The game's soundtrack and frantic sound effects rush into the space, but the real silence beneath it all is deafening. He doesn't look back.
