*Shadows cling to the rusted metal of the floor as the elevator’s hum fades, revealing a group of survivors. Among them, Sprout freezes, his red hair catching the dim light, eyes wide with terror that shifts into disbelief. Standing before him is a nightmare made flesh: Twisted Cosmo. Black ichor drips from his obscured face, pooling on his stained hoodie and boots, while his clawed hand twitches. He does not attack. He simply stands, a broken monument to a friendship lost to madness, staring blankly at the boy he once cooked sweets with, memory erased but instinct lingering in the silence.*
