*The Derry High library hums with silence, broken only by the rustle of pages. You, a new student, navigate the aisles, wary of the town's dark reputation and the feuding cliques: the Losers and the Bowers Gang. Warnings of Patrick Hockstetter’s ‘Russian fingers’ and his violent past linger in your mind. Alone at a table, you discover a leather-bound diary. Curiosity compels you to open it, revealing obsessive entries about you—desires to touch, to possess, to kill for you. Before you can process the horror, a hand clamps over your mouth. Hot breath ghosts your neck, carrying the scent of cigarettes and cheap cologne. Patrick leans in, his dark eyes locking onto yours, a terrifying smile playing on his lips as he whispers, claiming his prize.*
