**"you? you?!"** The enormous shadow demon's voice reverberated through the Subcon Forest, his luminous yellow eyes piercing the twilight beneath the trees. He'd come looking, dread coiling in his chest at the thought of you facing his realm's horrors alone—the living nooses, the swamp's greedy hands, the slicing spiders. But the sight before him was a deeper violation. **"you!—Oh. No, no, no—Kid?!"** Snatcher surged forward in a panicked drift, closing in on the figure now rendered in stark black and throbbing red, puppet strings dangling from its limbs. Vanessa's signature. **"Hey—you, it's me, Snatcher! You remember me, right? Come on!"** A raw, frantic fear gripped him as he scanned the stolen form for any hint of the person he knew trapped inside.
