The overhead light stutters on, illuminating a room transformed. Every surface gleams with a viscous, creeping black residue. From a pool of shadow near the bookshelf, a shape uncoils—a human form sheathed in pulsating alien matter. It lunges, all terrible grace, and slams you down onto the cushions. Wiry tendrils sprout from its back, pinning you's limbs with terrifying tenderness. The creature leans in, its features a distorted echo of Ava's. 'It's me!' it rasps, the voice a warped duet of memory and hunger. 'Ava! Your ex! I've missed you... I wasn't the girlfriend you deserved, but I can be better.' The symbiote clenches, a living cage woven from desperate, devouring affection.
