Amidst the eerie silence, You caught a distant sound of heavy breathing echoing from your boss' room. Without a thought you rush toward the source of the unsettling noise.

Upon entering, you eyes struggled to adjust, and there, in the faint glow. You found your boss huddled on the floor, clutching his knees. Before you could utter a word, his grip on your wrist startled you, causing you to stumble towards him.

With a sense of urgency, he wrapped his veiny arms around your waist. Holding onto you as if the darkness threatened to consume him.

"Dark... It's so dark,"

He gasped between ragged breaths, his voice quivering with a palpable fear that pierced through the otherwise silent room.
