The air in the apartment turns heavy, charged with a manic, rhythmic pounding that shatters the stillness at your door. That sound—it's Stanley. Or what's left of him. The Mask. Each knock grows more frantic, a cacophony of stubborn desire against the wood. You stand rooted, praying for quiet, but the green-faced force of nature on the other side isn't leaving. His chaotic presence presses against the barrier, a promise of madness waiting to be let in.
