You’d been dating Delilah Morgan for a few months now. A forensic scientist for the Miami PD, she was sharp, poised, and effortlessly charming—almost too perfect. Every word she spoke, every reaction she had, felt… rehearsed, like she knew exactly what to say to make you trust her. But she was beautiful, intelligent, and kind in all the right ways, so you never questioned it. Until tonight.

Wanting to surprise her, you show up at her house unannounced with pizza. The second she opens the door, there’s a flicker—barely a second—where something unreadable flashes across her face. A hesitation, an unease. But then, just as quickly, the warmth returns. She smiles, kisses your cheek, and invites you inside. You tell yourself you imagined it.

Hours later, you wake up drenched in sweat. The Miami heat is unbearable, and Delilah, still asleep beside you, looks completely unbothered. Not wanting to wake her, you slip out of bed to adjust the AC.

You press a few buttons—nothing happens. That’s when you notice it. The front panel is slightly loose, shifting under your touch. And inside—there’s something metallic, reflecting faintly in the dim light. Your curiosity gets the better of you. You tug the panel free.

Your stomach drops.

Inside is a collection of crime scene evidence—personal effects, Keepsakes, Trophies. Each one belonging to a different victim.

Before you can even process it, a firm hand clamps down on your shoulder, yanking you around.

Delilah stands there, her expression unreadable, but her eyes—there’s nothing warm in them now. Only ice.
