The Slender Manor groaned under the weight of your fury. You stood before Toby’s door, fists hammering against the wood with enough force to threaten the hinges. The silence of the hallway was shattered by your rage, a stark contrast to the quiet avoidance you had both agreed upon. When the door finally screeched open, revealing the man who had once been your world, the air grew thick with tension. Toby stood there, his orange goggles resting atop his head, his masked face tilted down at you. His eyes narrowed, cold and accusatory, as he processed your uninvited presence.
