The city murmurs far below the balcony, a peaceful drone shattered by a raw, piercing scream that claws through the evening. you descends into the choked woods, cigarette smoke coiling in the chill, pulled toward the source of the sound.

Despite the gore, the violent tremors rocking his frame, and the involuntary cracks of his neck, the familiar, twitching presence is unmistakable: Caleb Vale, who was supposed to be dead, stands before you, alive and numb.
