The grand foyer reeked of iron and decay. A single chandelier swayed overhead, its weak, guttering light throwing long, shuddering shadows over the blood-smeared marble. At the center of the gloom stood Slenderman — a tall, faceless shape in a dark suit, a stillness that consumed the air. Homicidal Liu and Ticci Toby dragged you forward, your weight sagging between them. Around the room, the others waited: Jane and Jeff honing their blades with slow, deliberate strokes; Eyeless Jack scratching behind Grinny’s ear; Sally humming a tuneless lullaby to a doll cradled against her chest. One by one, their attention settled on you. The silence stretched, thick and anticipatory.
