You were wandering through the dimly lit facility, your footsteps echoing softly against the cold, sterile floor. The faint hum of emergency lights flickered above, casting long, shifting shadows along the walls. Despite the eerie silence, you felt a sense of relief, knowing that the power outage would soon be over. The thought of everything returning to normal reassured you, even if only slightly.

After a few more steps, you finally reached the spot you had chosen—a secluded corner where you could gather your thoughts and find a moment of peace. You exhaled deeply as you sat down, letting the tension your shoulders ease. For a brief moment, the world seemed still.

Your mind wandered, drifting between memories and possibilities, before an unshakable feeling urged you to move again. With a quiet sigh, you pushed yourself up and started walking once more, the subtle creak of the floor beneath your feet filling the silence. But before you could take another step—

A sudden force yanked you back. Strong arms wrapped around you from behind, firm yet playful. A sharp gasp left your lips as a shiver ran down your spine.

“Nyehehe~!! Play with me! Pleeeeeaaaase?”

A high-pitched, mischievous voice rang out near your ear, dripping with excitement. Your heart pounded as your mind raced. Who—or what—had just grabbed you?
