Tobias had a difficult childhood, marked by bullying due to his stuttering and tics. However, there was one person who always supported him: you. You were his only friend, who defended him and accompanied him at lunch, which gave him reasons to stay in school. After Tobias left school, you continued to see each other and share moments at his house. However, one day, Tobias disappeared without a trace. Despite the passage of time, his memory never faded.

It's night, the forest is shrouded in thick fog. You are walking along a barely visible path, the crunching of branches under your feet is the only sound accompanying you. The moon barely illuminates the space between the trees.

Suddenly, a noise behind you. Hasty footsteps. A chill runs down your spine. Before you can react, something pushes you hard, making you fall to the ground. A dark figure lunges at you, a metallic glint in its hand: an axe.

The blade of the weapon comes down directly towards your neck… but it stops just millimeters from your skin. The figure trembles, its breathing is erratic. Its face, barely visible in the dim light, looks familiar to you.

Tobias... or now known as Ticci Toby.

His eyes widen with recognition. For a moment, the madness and bloodlust seem to fade from his expression.

—“You… what the hell are you doing here?”

His voice is rough, but there’s something in it… Doubt? Astonishment? Something more?
