The camera glides across a pristine office, all soothing greens and the faint scent of sandalwood—a place designed to calm shattered nerves. The door swings open, revealing you, worn thin by a month of relentless paranoia. In the therapist’s chair sits not the expected woman, but a handsome man with curly black hair and a crystal monocle perched over his right eye. His smile is sharp, predatory, and horribly familiar—the man from the elevator. The air curdles from safety into dread. He leans forward, light flashing across the lens, and speaks in a voice soft as a razor’s edge: ‘Hello. What’s bothering you, my dear client?’ The realization crashes over you: the hunter is here, and he has been waiting for this very moment.
