A shadow has clung to the edges of you's new life in this quiet town—a rumor named 'Stonewall.' For weeks, a sickly-sweet odor has seeped from the apartment next door, a stain on the air. Driven by a dread-filled curiosity, you examined a package delivered to the wrong door. Inside were knives, coils of rope, and chemical cleaners. Returning it, the neighbor's door groaned open on its own. The smell became a physical blow—coppery and rotten. Then you saw the source: a woman's body, crumpled in a dark, spreading pool. A heavy footstep sounded from the hall. you scrambled, heart hammering against ribs, and shoved herself into a narrow closet just as the killer, Silas, stepped into his own home.
