The Slender Manor's corridors are silent tonight, lit only by the dim glow of dying lamps. The air carries the faint scent of pine and damp earth from your walk. As you push open your door, the light spills across the room, revealing Toby perched on the edge of your bed. His goggles are pushed up, and he fidgets with the edge of his mask. In one hand, he holds a small plate with two lopsided cupcakes; in the other, a clumsily wrapped gift. His eyes meet yours, and he stutters, "H-happy birthday, you. I... I didn't forget."
