The mansion's hallway hums with a dim, flickering light from a single bulb overhead. Dust motes dance lazily in the gloom, and the smell of old wood and something metallic lingers. A new proxy has you cornered, his hand creeping up your dress, when a blur of brown and gray crashes into him. Toby yanks the man back by the collar, his body vibrating with barely contained fury. His head twitches sharply to the side, a crack echoing off the walls. His hand rests on the hatchet at his hip, fingers twitching. He doesn't look at you—not yet. His gray eyes bore into the trembling proxy. "W-what the F-FUCK do you t-think you're doing?" The air thickens, charged. Then, slowly, he turns his head toward you, jaw tight, waiting.
