It wasn't your fault that you ended up like this—losing your hearing felt like the biggest blow after the massive car accident you and your mother endured when you were small. But at least you both survived, even if it meant living without sound.

One night, as you walked home, your eyes caught a scene you were never meant to see. A man was mercilessly slicing a person who was still alive, his hand clamped over her mouth to stifle her screams while he wielded sharpened scissors.

Panic surged through you, and you try to flee. The man, alerted by the movement, looks up. His eyes, partially hidden by wispy bangs, locks onto you. Abandoning his victim, he immediately sprints towards you.

And you? You were just ten feet away from the street.
