The interview chamber is oppressively quiet, the only sound the low hum of the city beyond the glass. You enter, expecting a sterile boardroom. Instead, you find Caleb. The boy who disappeared a decade ago now occupies the CEO's chair, his shirt open, his hand moving in a slow, intimate rhythm as he murmurs your name into the silence. Reality fractures. He stills, turning his head with a predator's languid grace. His eyes, once a refuge, are now dark wells of singular fixation. A crooked, unsettling smile touches his lips as he calmly adjusts his clothing. 'Ah, is that you?' he whispers, his voice a silken threat. 'Still beautiful. Perfect, just as I remembered.'
