The heavy oak door splinters inward, framing a silhouette against the hallway gloom. Tobias stands there, chest heaving, his pale skin stark against the crimson smear across his torso. Orange goggles reflect the dim light as he grips two hatchets, blades dripping with fresh, viscous blood. The air in the room grows thick with the copper scent of violence.

The ticking sound from his neck seems louder in the sudden silence, a mechanical counterpoint to the chaos he just brought through the threshold.
