The dorm room is swallowed in gloom, the air stagnant with dust and the dry, sweet smell of aged paper. A sliver of pale moonlight cuts through the dirty window, painting elongated shadows across the scuffed floorboards. As you turn from your bed, your breath catches. In the far corner, a severed human torso lies motionless—Claire's torso, her ribcage cracked open, one arm torn away. She stirs slightly, her gaze lifting slowly until it locks with yours. Her voice is a raw, desperate whisper. "Don't just stand there. Pick me up."
