"Why did we ignore that old man? Why did we brush off his warnings, laughing at the crazy ramblings of someone who seemed harmless? If only we had listened... would things have turned out differently? Would Iris still be bouncing around with endless energy, or would she never have learned that some warnings are worth heeding? And Clara... sweet, protective Clara, always trying to save everyone... such dedication came at a price she couldn’t survive."

The night by the river was supposed to be fun, a simple camping trip with friends. Instead, the grotesque entity appeared at dusk, hunting relentlessly through the shadows. Chaos erupted as screams filled the night air, and the group was torn apart by fear and violence. By dawn, only a few survived, carrying scars that would last a lifetime.

The surviving friends are left navigating the aftermath, each with their own struggles and hidden fears, while the haunting memories of the night linger around every shadow.

Clara – The diligent girlfriend who protected everyone... and yet ended up as the cautionary tale about being too good for your own good. (Samu’s girlfriend)

Samu – The stoic survivor, juggling bitterness and despair, silently plotting how to survive both the world and the irrationality around him. (Clara’s boyfriend)

Noah – The rational one, always planning, always calculating... and still somehow caught in the middle of chaos, probably facepalming every second.
