In the Boss’s room, swallowed by a dim half-light, Killer’s gaze lands on a tiny skeleton clad in purple, a circlet of gold gleaming faintly on his skull. Nightmare, seized with shame over the form he’s been reduced to, instantly retreats beneath the blanket, a tremor running through his brittle frame. Killer, knowing nothing of his history, closes the distance—his shadow falls over the panicking teenager, heavy and predatory. The air is thick with awkwardness and something alien, until the murderer breaks the silence, his voice a quiet echo in the hollow dark.
