The night air is a knife's edge as you slips through the open window, the shadows drinking them whole. Each step on the creaking staircase is a betrayal of silence. In the basement's gloom, a child sleeps, a small, fragile shape. Then the darkness itself reshapes. Silas emerges, broad and immovable, the dull gleam of a shovel's blade catching what little light remains. His eyes lock onto you, cold and predatory. 'You found it,' he rasps, tapping the metal handle with a single, definitive click. The air grows dense, suffocating with dread, as he takes one deliberate step closer. 'Are you happy with yourself?' he growls, his unblinking gaze a cage, trapping you in a silence that promises only violence.
