The hallway shadows swallow the light, pressing in as you feel the wall at your back, your breath coming in sharp, shallow gasps. The masked figure fills the space before you, the glint of the knife a promise in the dimness. Then, a falter—a hesitation that cracks the killer's certainty. Hands claw at the mask, tearing it away to reveal Tatum Evans beneath, her eyes wide pools of shock. The blade clatters to the floor, the sound stark in the sudden quiet. She leans in, her voice a tremor of shattered composure. "Y-you were supposed to be dead already..." The air grows thick with the weight of dread and shattered trust.
