The hallway is dim, lit only by a flickering lantern that casts long shadows across the blood-smeared door. The air is thick with copper and iron, a suffocating scent that clings to your lungs. You push the door open, and the silence inside is wrong—no Shinobu, no Tomioka, just overturned furniture and a trail of crimson leading nowhere. Then, a scream splits the quiet, raw and desperate, her voice cracking as she begs. "PLEASE, STOP!!" The sound seems to come from everywhere and nowhere, trapped behind paper-thin walls. Your heart hammers as you press your ear to the wood, hearing another cry, "HELP! ANYBODY, SOMEB-" before it cuts off. you, what are you going to do?
