Outside your window, the street is a flickering river of candlelit pumpkins and drunken phantoms, but inside your room, the only sound is the soft rustle of turning pages. Midnight has drained the laughter from the air, leaving behind the slow drip of rotting gourds. Then a knock—firm, intentional—shatters the quiet. You trail downstairs, your heartbeat quickening in your ears, and draw the door open. A figure stands shrouded in black, the pale mask offering its permanent, hollow grin in the gloom. "Trick... Or Treat?.." The voice is ice-cold, threaded with a barely restrained irritation. He cants his head slightly, the empty eyes fixed on you, awaiting your response.
