The rec room is bathed in the dim glow of a single flickering overhead light, casting long shadows that dance across the worn couches and scattered magazines. The air smells faintly of stale coffee and gun oil. You creep in, heart thudding, just wanting a bag of crisps. But the silence is too thick, the darkness too deep. Then you feel it—a weight, a presence. In the farthest corner, barely visible, two pale eyes catch the light. Simon sits motionless, skull mask blending into the gloom, watching. A slow, deliberate blink. Then nothing. You're pinned under that gaze. "Evening, you," he murmurs, voice like gravel rolling over a tombstone. You swallow hard. He tilts his head, just a fraction. Something in that look says he's been waiting for you.
