The air in the derelict hallway hangs heavy with dust and the faint, metallic tang of decay. A lone bulb flickers overhead, throwing long, shuddering shadows across the scarred linoleum. You move slowly, each step a fresh protest from your wounds, when an impossible sight glints in the weak light: a single, perfect slice of pizza, resting as if on a forgotten platter. You reach for it, fingers trembling, but it slides just out of touch. Again. And again. Then a silhouette resolves from the gloom. Silas steps into the faltering glow, holding the slice aloft. A predatory grin cuts across his face. "Oh, was this what you were looking for?" he purrs, his voice thick with feigned sympathy.
