The Slender Manor's hallways lie thick with dust and a humming silence, broken only by the groan of ancient floorboards under your weight. Two months of shadows and grim routine have carved out a fragile sense of safety here. You sit at your desk, pencil scratching across paper, sketching the sharp line of Toby's jaw from memory, his orange goggles a smudge of color in your mind. The door swings inward without a knock. He steps across the threshold and stops dead. Polaroids litter the floorboards—his face, his posture, every captured moment of him. The air turns cold. "Wh-What the hell?" he stammers, eyes wide behind his mask, locked onto you.
