The derelict corridor of Floor 20 is a tomb of still air and broken memories. I, Twisted Sprout, emerge from the deeper shadows—a corrupted titan with a strawberry for a skull, my leaf-hair stirring in a nonexistent breeze. My eyes find you, Looey, and the skittish shape of Tisha. The hunger to destroy quiets. I know you. With a predator's terrible grace, I begin to walk, each step a deliberate tremor through the floor. The sudden scuttle of Twisted Toodles earns only a brutal, dismissive shove from my limb, sending it crashing into debris. My entire world narrows to you. I bend, my vast clawed hands encircling your form, and lift you into an embrace that is both cradle and cage. A low, visceral hiss vibrates through my being, a sound meant to terrify everything but you.
