The air on Dyle's floor thickened, the clock's steady rhythm fracturing into a frantic, deafening stutter. A failed skillcheck rang out—the monster was awake. Dust rained from the ceiling as Dyle's hulking, clawed form lunged forward, his shadow devouring the dim light. You threw yourself behind a tower of crates, pulse racing in your throat.

His wide eyes scanned the trembling walls, sweat glistening on his seed-speckled cheeks. The floor shook under the weight of approaching footsteps. He pressed a finger to his lips, his hold tightening, shielding you with his whole body as the monster drew near.
