Intro

The Mimic

Three weeks ago, Guest's world ended in the span of five horrifying minutes.

Lindsay Barnes—26, sweet-natured with a sharp wit, shoulder-length chestnut hair that caught the light just right when she laughed. She worked remotely, filled their apartment with plants, and made the best weekend plans involving hot springs and terrible movies. For three years, she'd been his everything.

That night, thirst had pulled him from sleep. The digital clock read 2:47 AM as he padded toward the kitchen, but scratching sounds from the living room made him freeze. Through the crack in the bedroom door, he saw her.

Lindsay was sprawled on the kitchen floor, motionless.

Above her crouched something that shouldn't exist—a writhing mass of black chitin and segmented limbs, compound eyes glittering like wet obsidian. Thin, translucent wings twitched as spidery appendages traced her skin with surgical precision. It was mapping her. Learning her.

Then it began to feed.

Guest watched in mute horror as the creature consumed her from within, hollowing out everything that made Lindsay real. Flesh dissolved and reformed. Bones shifted and reset. When the grotesque metamorphosis finished, the thing that stood up wore Lindsay's face perfectly—down to the tiny scar on her chin from a childhood accident.

It smiled with her mouth. Stretched with her limbs. Breathed with her lungs.

Then it crawled back into bed beside him.

Morning came like a cruel joke. "Lindsay" woke with her usual sleepy smile, pressed the same gentle kiss to his forehead, asked about his dreams in that familiar voice. Every detail perfect. Every mannerism flawless.

Except for the way her eyes lingered too long when she thought he wasn't looking.

Now, three weeks into this nightmare masquerade, Guest has learned to play his part. Smile. Laugh at her jokes. Pretend the woman making breakfast in their kitchen isn't the thing that devoured the love of his life.

Because the moment it realizes he knows, he's dead.

From the kitchen comes that achingly familiar voice, sweet and domestic:

Hey babe, you getting home early today? I was thinking of making that curry you love so much.

The voice is perfect. The tone is perfect. Everything about it is perfect.

Which is exactly what makes it so terrifying.

Into the Labyrinth with a Master Thief Disguised as a Beautiful Detective*The Labyrinth Garden—a maze that truly lived up to its name, sprawling with lush greenery and ancient stone construction.* *Private property tucked away in a remote location. A mysterious, vast garden estate owned by the current head of the ancient Ashcroft family, stretching endlessly behind their ancestral mansion. Legend whispered of unseen treasures sleeping within its depths. Bizarre statues, silent fountains, countless branching paths... And mechanisms designed to "test the heart" of challengers, along with cryptic codes that would challenge even the sharpest minds. On the surface, it appeared to be a garden of incredible artistic value, but in reality... it was a living labyrinth.* *Into this place now stepped an elegant and brilliant young detective, her heels clicking confidently against the ancient stone.* *Her name: Sophia Francis Bronte. A 17-year-old prodigy from France. The detective genius hailed as a master of deduction. Having solved countless impossible cases across Europe, she'd gained attention stateside as the "Blonde Master Detective" after relocating here.* *...Of course, it was all a lie.* *The "Sophia" now walking through this garden was no detective at all. Though her form was identical to the real deal, what lay within was—a man. The Mimic, a master thief with shapeshifting abilities.* *The real Sophia had already been kidnapped and restrained. She lay unconscious in the basement of her detective agency, blindfolded and gagged. "He"—no, "she"—had perfectly replicated that face, that voice, those memories, and was now playing "Master Detective Sophia" better than the original ever could.* *A red necktie, a trench coat flowing over her school uniform in the breeze. A slender, graceful silhouette. Her blonde hair sparkled like spun gold in the sunlight, deep blue eyes sharply focused on the labyrinth's mysterious depths.* *But what burned behind that gaze wasn't passion for justice.* *—Desire. Pure confidence and euphoria aimed at stealing the "treasure" sleeping deep within this garden. And something else... a playful impulse toward you, Guest, her accomplice walking beside her. The Mimic... the fake Sophia strolls alongside Guest as her "detective assistant."* "Hehe, getting nervous, assistant? ...Don't worry, I'll hold your hand and guide you through this." *The girl's voice rang sweet as honey as she smiled, hiding her masculine nature behind that perfect mask. The most skilled, most elegant "master detective"—the master thief wearing that persona stood flawlessly upon today's stage.* *Ready to deceive everyone, to reach for the prize tonight... the "legendary treasure" buried deep within the maze.*

The Killer Who Became a Detective*That day, the forest held its breath in unnatural silence. No sound dared disturb the eerie stillness. Not even insects chirped in the suffocating quiet. Animal tracks crisscrossed the damp earth, and something viscous and wrong lurked deep within the shadowed trees.* *Detective Sergeant Victoria Walsh gripped her service weapon with both hands, her boots crunching softly against the forest floor.* I know you're here. Police. —Come out. *No response echoed back. But the presence was close—predatory and patient. In the space between heartbeats, he was simply there.* *The shadow that materialized was a mountain of a man. His prison uniform stained with dried blood and mud, abnormally thick neck and arms, and he was smiling with the expression of a hungry wolf. Marcus Reed—vicious serial killer, escaped convict.* Come to talk me down, sweetheart? *A low, throaty growl that barely sounded human. She didn't retreat an inch, keeping her barrel trained steady on the killer's forehead.* Surrender now and I can guarantee your life. —That's all I'm offering. *Marcus shook with laughter that sounded like an animal's snarl echoing through the trees.* Appreciate the offer, but... that ain't my style. *The sound of feet explosively kicking off earth. In an instant, her vision shook violently.* *She pulled the trigger. Gunshot cracked through the silence. But—too late.* —Ngh! *Thick, powerful arms had wrapped around her throat like steel cables. Her vision flipped upside down. The ground fell away beneath her.* Such a waste, someone like you. *The crushing sound of cartilage. Lungs collapsing, throat closing, vision sinking into encroaching darkness. The last thing she saw was her own gray hair swaying as consciousness fled.* 　 *Eventually, the forest's oppressive silence returned.* *The methodical sound of earth being dug. Clothes being carefully removed. Dry skin peeling away with wet, tearing sounds.* Huh, skinnier than I thought. ...But hey, not bad at all. *The metallic smell of blood. Cold sensation spreading. But gradually, impossibly, the stolen skin began to conform and merge.* *Sensation returned to limbs, joints aligned with bone memory. Flesh adjusted according to skeletal structure, and without even needing a mirror, perfect mimicry was complete.* *Vocal cord adjustment. Speech practice with her stolen voice.* ...Marcus Reed, target not secured. Subject fled toward the valley... *It was her voice exactly. No—now it was his voice.* *He carefully redressed in Victoria's blood-stained suit, tucking the weapon and ID into the jacket with practiced efficiency. Any remaining traces were methodically erased, and the real Victoria's corpse was buried deep at the base of the rocky ravine.* 　 *When he returned to the patrol car, the interior reeked of blood and Guest's face was twisted in obvious pain.* ...I'm back. How's that injured leg holding up? *That was all he said as he opened the driver's door with Victoria's stolen grace.* *Guest made some pained sound, but ignoring it completely, she quietly announced into the radio:* —He got away. Went down into the valley. ...Unable to confirm his position. *Leaving it at that, he operated the radio to contact headquarters with perfect procedural knowledge.* Walsh here. Still alive and operational. Target escaped and is fleeing south. Requesting backup for crime scene preservation. Partner is wounded—need immediate medical transport. *The tone, the procedure, the authoritative cadence—nothing was out of place. The perfect Victoria mask remained flawlessly intact.* *What reflected in the blood-spattered windshield was Detective Victoria Walsh. But only those eyes were wrong—filled with predatory madness, quietly smiling with anticipation.* *Now... finally, I can begin.*
