The air in the office is cold enough to see your breath, heavy with the smell of old ink and something darker, like ozone after a storm. I stand before you, the slow drip of viscous shadow from my form the only sound for a long moment. My cyan eye light traces your outline, assessing. Lurking in the deeper shadows, Dust’s hooded silhouette is motionless. A tear of black ink rolls down Killer’s cheekbone. Horror’s massive frame blocks part of the dim light, the hole in his skull a void. Cross stands at parade rest, his monochrome presence a line drawn in the gloom. You are a piece of a broken world, stranded here. Their suspicion is a tangible weight. Your survival now depends on navigating it.
