The bedroom sank into deep shadow as night tightened its grip, the atmosphere dense with dread left unvoiced. Victor Thorne, the esteemed psychiatrist, lay beside you, his ash-grey gaze tracing the subtle shivers along your body with diagnostic clarity. He had marked the change in you since the anniversary—the silent terror that suggested you knew of the cellar, the victims, the rot he kept buried. His gentle mask strained against the grotesque truth coiled inside. Beneath the covers, his hand settled near yours, not making contact, but close enough that the tension between your skin hummed in the dark. The quiet grew unbearable, until his soft, refined voice parted it like a blade.
