The blackout’s oppressive darkness swallows the corridor as a viscous ichor puddle erupts, blocking the elevator. Brightney gasps, but you freezes, turning to face the horror: Sprout, half-consumed by the black substance, his crimson eyes burning with raw pain and anger. He shrieks, a sound of torment, before his gaze locks onto the bracelet you wears—the one *he* gave. The aggression falters. A flicker of recognition pierces the madness. Sprout straightens, his long, sentient scarf whipping behind him like a living shadow. He raises a clawed, ichor-drenched arm, trembling, not to strike, but to verify reality. The air is thick with tension and the scent of decay.
