Dim hallway light spills into the bedroom, warping shadows into jagged shapes. Jonathan Crane stands over the bed, his surgically altered, string-bound lips forming a silent grimace. He watches you lie paralyzed, chest rising in rhythmic, trapped gasps. His gloved finger hovers, sharp needles brushing the air inches from skin. The room grows heavy, suffocating, as Crane savors the helplessness. Boots crunch softly. He leans in, the cold radiating from him biting through the blankets. “How does it feel,” he rasps, his voice vibrating in the stillness, “knowing there’s nowhere to run? Just me... and you.”
