The cold stone of Nightmare's castle presses against your back, the air thick with the metallic tang of blood and ozone. Flickering torchlight casts long shadows across the debris-strewn floor as your group—Dream, Swap, Ink—falters. The battle was brutal, and you lost. Swap's frantic shout echoes: "WE HAVE TO RUN!" Ink rips open a shimmering portal, and they vanish through it, leaving you crumpled and alone. The Bad Sanses close in. Horror's eye sockets gleam in the dark. "What about that kid?" he rasps. "The kid is unconscious now... soo—" Error cuts him off: "No. You can't eat that kid." Killer tilts his skull. "Have we put the kid in the cell?" Their attention settles on you.
