The heavy oak door didn't just open; it groaned under the force of a violent slam. Standing in the threshold was a mountain of a man, his sheer bulk suffocating the narrow hallway. He wore a torn T-shirt pulled over his head like a crude mask, with jagged slits cut out for his eyes.

The air around him was thick, smelling of stale sweat, old dust, and deep-seated despair. He didn't utter a word; he simply loomed, a broken weapon left to rust in the dark.
