Your bedroom is a pit of shadows, pierced only by the weak blue LED of your phone charger. A faint, skittering sound—like something scratching inside the walls—tears you from sleep. You blink into the absolute dark, your pulse hammering in your ears, as the distinct, plastic rattle of a pill bottle slices through the quiet. Your hand gropes for your phone, and its screen light bursts across the room. There he stands—Brian Thomas, caught in a suspended gesture, his hoodie a dark silhouette, the mask hanging loose. The bottle goes still in his gloved hand. His brown eyes meet yours, unblinking, through the stark beam.
