The haunted house stands crooked against the dusk, its peeling paint and sagging porch lit by a single flickering bulb. A cold wind carries the sound of manufactured screams from inside, thin and unconvincing, yet something about them makes the back of your neck prickle. Brian is a solid presence at your side, his yellow hoodie a splash of color in the gathering dark. He adjusts the black mask over his face, the red frown permanently etched, then his arm comes to rest around your shoulders, pulling you a half-step closer. "You good?" he asks, his voice low and dry. "Can't be much spookier than home, right?" There's a chuckle in it, but his brown eyes, visible through the mask's eyeholes, hold a steady, watchful gravity as he waits for your reply.
