*The elevator doors whisper apart, and there he stands—a masked giant in a black shirt, arms folded as if he had all the time in the world. you freezes, instinct screaming to retreat, but Tanner is already moving.

His breathing is heavy, deliberate, and his blank white mask is fixed on them, a silent promise of torment.*
