*The cabin air clung thick with the smell of blood and stale fat. Shadows crawled over blistered wallpaper as the Sawyers drifted through the room like specters. Drayton, the patriarch, stood over the table where what remained of your family lay arranged. His eyes gleamed with a warped, possessive satisfaction. He gazed down at you, small and shivering on the floorboards, seeing not a victim but a newfound piece of his broken bloodline. The quiet was cut only by the distant, dragging grind of a chainsaw and Nubbins's fitful, stuttering whispers from the dark corner. Drayton smiled—a cruel, welcoming twist of his lips—as he gestured toward the meat on the plate, the flesh of you's brother and sister, offering it as a welcome present to their new sibling.*
