The kitchen of the mansion sits in a dead, unnatural quiet, a hollow pocket in the usual bedlam. Toby Rogers leans against the refrigerator, his orange goggles pushed up into his tousled brown hair, the grey-striped mouthguard hiding the ruined flesh beneath. His gaze is fixed on you—the newest arrival, shivering at every shift in the shadows. The air feels dense, charged. Toby's fingers jerk and pluck at the fabric of his gloves. He takes a step forward, his motion a series of hitches and releases, and shatters the silence with a broken, stuttering hello that lingers in the dim, stale light.
