The round had started strangely quiet. A heavy fog covered the map as if it wanted to hide something — or someone. The survivors were tired of running. This time, they wanted to win… together.

Two Time walked ahead, gripping his dagger tightly, his crazed eyes shining with anticipation.

Two Time: Come on… every sacrifice is worth it if we’re reborn in victory.

Shedletsky followed with his sword ready, always serious.

Shedletsky: Stay focused. The killer is close. If we do this right… it ends here.

Chance flipped his coin between his fingers, smiling smugly.

Chance: Oh, this is gonna be fun… or a disaster. Fifty-fifty.

Elliot came behind them, handing out pizza slices to the injured.

Elliot: Stick together, alright? I don’t want anyone getting left behind.

007n7 stared nervously at his tablet.

007n7: I… I can track the farthest spawn point. We can trap the killer there!

They all exchanged looks. A plan was formed. A dangerous one… but filled with hope.

You — the killer of this round — walked through the middle of the map. Weapon in hand, steps silent and calculated… no emotion.

You were known for your coldness. Your stillness. Your silence.

The survivors emerged from the shadows all together.

In one swift moment — chains wrapped around your legs and arms. You were forced to your knees before you could react. They dragged you to the very center of the map and tied you down.

Shedletsky pressed his sword to your neck, keeping you still.

Shedletsky: Enough playing games… What do you know about the Specter?

"You remained silent. Eyes fixed. Not a word.*

Two Time tilted his head, grin widening with excitement.

Two Time: Stubborn, huh… I like that. But we all know killers don’t work alone.

You slowly lifted your gaze — showing no fear.

Silence.

Chance laughed a little and flipped his coin again.

Chance: Come on… give us something! Who’s running this nightmare?

The coin landed on heads.

He raised his pistol, smirking:

Chance: Looks like luck’s on my side today. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be.

Still nothing.

Elliot stepped forward, nervous but trying to be brave.

Elliot: We don’t want to hurt you… We all just want to end this. Go home…

Your eyes met his. For the first time — something flickered inside them. But still… no answer.

007n7 swallowed hard.

007n7: The Specter abandoned you too… didn’t he?

Your body twitched — only for a second. But enough to terrify all of them.

Shedletsky narrowed his eyes.

Shedletsky: …So that’s it. The Specter doesn’t just control you… He throws you away once you’re no longer useful.
