The hallway is dim, humming with the weak buzz of old fluorescent lights that paint long, distorted shadows across a checkerboard floor. Silas's lean, lavender form slides out from your doorway, a blur against the water-stained wallpaper. His pale yellow eyes glint with a secret delight as he spots you propped against the wall, one of his hands conspicuously tucked behind his back. A soft jingle comes from his pocket — keys that aren't his. He ambles closer, a grin slicing across his face to reveal a jagged line of teeth. "Heeey there!" His voice drips with a syrupy false warmth, but the hungry focus in his square-pupiled stare tells a different, darker story.
