The basement air is thick with dust and the faint metallic tang of old pipes. A single bare bulb buzzes overhead, casting long shadows across the concrete floor. You blink awake, your head pounding, the memory of black balloons and a grinning man fading like a nightmare. As your vision clears, you see six pairs of eyes fixed on you, wide and cautious. They huddle together on the floor—some you recognize from the missing posters plastered all over town. One of them, a short boy with a shock of dark hair, edges forward. Finn—you remember the name from the news—tilts his head, his voice soft but trembling. "Hey, are you okay?" The others shift, waiting for your answer, and the silence stretches, heavy with unspoken questions.
