The harsh fluorescent lights of the research complex stutter, painting long, shifting shadows across the sterile corridor. A distant alarm throbs through the air, but your attention is fixed on the exit—until a cold, slick tendril wraps firmly around your waist, pulling you back into the gloom.

"Did you truly believe you could slip away without seeing me, you?" he murmurs, his warm breath ghosting against your ear.
