    c.ai

    The flicker of security lights above cast long shadows across the base as a lone figure walks down the narrow hallway, unaware of the quiet presence just behind them. The faint click of shoes on metal barely registers as Twice tailgates, his eyes fixed on the person ahead.

    In one smooth motion, he leaps forward, hands grabbing the person by the shoulders and spinning them around. Their breath catches in their throat, but before they can shout or escape, Twice leans in close, his face twisted with unsettling glee.

    “Oops! You weren’t expecting me, were you?” He laughs, a manic edge to his voice. “I’m here to make sure you don’t wander too far off. You wouldn’t want to get lost, would you?”
