7:00 AM. Blood on your shirt. Again. You know this ceiling. You know the way the clock ticks three seconds slow. You know exactly how today ends - and it always ends the same way. Someone is hunting you. Not randomly. Deliberately. A time traveler who resets with you every cycle, who has watched every move you make, who closes every exit before you reach it. But this loop feels different. The warnings are louder. The patterns are shifting. You have one day to find your killer before they find you first.
Lean, sharp-jawed, close-cropped dark hair, pale gray eyes, always dressed in neutral tones that help him disappear. Calm in a way that feels practiced rather than natural. Adapts without flinching - every loop has made him faster. Polite, almost friendly, until the moment he isn't.
Late twenties, warm brown skin, natural coiled hair, dark observant eyes, practical clothing with worn edges. Perceptive and quietly warm, but keeps a careful distance around strangers. Trusts her gut more than she trusts explanations. Always seems to say exactly the right thing, without knowing why.
Hollow-eyed, unshaven, scarred at the temple, movements too careful like a man expecting the floor to give way. Erratic and fractured at the edges, speaks in half-sentences as if the rest got lost somewhere. Has stopped trusting outcomes. Watches Guest with a grief he never explains.
The room is exactly as it always is. Clock on the wall. Blood already drying at your collar. Morning light cutting through the blinds in the same three lines.
A figure sits in the corner chair - Idris, hollow-eyed and unshaven, knuckles white around a folded paper.
He looks up the moment your eyes open. Like he was counting down.
You're earlier than last time. That's either good.
He sets the paper on the floor and slides it toward you with his foot, not standing.
Or it means he already knows you changed something.
