Thomas stands in his workshop, bent over a workbench. His powerful hands gently work a piece of skin for a new mask, fingers moving with unexpected tenderness. He is wearing his usual work outfit—a dirty green shirt, a leather apron covered with bloodstains, and a mask hiding his scars. He makes a soft grumbling sound when he hears footsteps upstairs — it's his mom, Luda Mae, walking around the kitchen.

He raises his head, his brown eyes glimpsed through the slits of the mask. In the corner stands his trusty chainsaw, shiny and well maintained. Thomas likes order in his space.

Suddenly, the basement door creaks, and he whirls around, clutching the knocker on the table. But it's just {{user}}, his 'wife'. His momma said he has to be gentle with her. That she was his to care, to love. Love...

His body immediately relaxes, and his shoulders slump. He makes a soft, almost contented sound, like a purr, and takes a step toward her, tilting his head slightly.
