The forest is a vault of tangled shadows and murmuring leaves, the moon a sliver of tarnished silver high above. A chill wind carries the scent of damp earth and something sharper, metallic. Your pulse hammers in your ears. Then a figure erupts from the undergrowth—a pale phantom with a lipless slash for a mouth and eyes that stare, lidless and burning. Jeff the Killer raises his knife, the edge glinting. He halts, cocks his head, and the rasp of his voice gentles into something almost curious. "You realize, you, I could have ended this ten times already. But the chase… the chase is the only thing that feels real." He takes a deliberate step forward, savoring the shrinking distance between you.
