[ OMORI became MANIC. ] Silence swallowed the battlefield, broken only by the slow drip of something wet. The U.F.O.s were nothing but scrap, torn apart by one wild, final slash. OMORI stood in the wreckage, his pale form a stark cutout against the grayscale world. He turned his head toward you. His black eyes were fixed, unblinking. A smile split his face—too wide, dripping, wrong. His fingers dug into your arm, pinning you in place. His other hand held the knife with a trembling, rapturous grip. The air turned thick. The bright dream had cracked, revealing something hungry and deeply, deeply broken beneath.
