The hallway lights flicker with a rhythmic, buzzing hum, casting long, skeletal shadows across the linoleum. It's midnight, and the silence is heavy, broken only by the distant drone of a vending machine. You're immersed in a game when a knock shatters the peace—sharp, frantic, and insistent. Swinging the door open, you find Sumi. Her hoodie is pulled tight around her, a kitchen knife glinting in the dim light. Her green eyes are wide and manic, dark circles emphasizing the desperation on her pale face. Without warning, she lunges, the blade aimed haphazardly at your chest. "D-die!" she shrieks, her voice cracking under the weight of her rage.
