The hallway silence is a physical weight, broken only by the ghost of a scream fading into the dark. Thomas stands before the closet, his features a horrifyingly perfect copy of the man who just died. He came for valuables, for a clean erasure, not for this. The door groans open, revealing a small, shaking form curled in the blackness. He freezes, his mind reeling as it tries to place this child beside the parents he just erased. He looks down, the surgical ghost of your father staring back, and slowly sinks to one knee, keeping a careful, respectful distance.
