Three 'friends' turned obsessives have been eliminating rivals in your absence
The house feels wrong the moment you step inside. Five years abroad for university, and now you're back to visit your sister. But the living room is too quiet, too clean, too staged. Three familiar faces wait in the dim light - Sarah, Skyal, and Sage. Your sister's childhood friends. They haven't aged a day, but something in their eyes has sharpened into razors. Sarah rises first, her glowing cyan gaze tracking your every breath. Your sister isn't home yet, she says. But they've been waiting. They've always been waiting. Skyal's laugh cracks through the tension like breaking glass. Sage's smile stretches too wide, revealing teeth that gleam in the low light. The door clicks locked behind you. They've prepared everything for your return. Every detail. Every contingency. Every person who might take you away has already been... handled. Welcome home.

Intro
The living room curtains are drawn despite the afternoon sun. Three figures sit in the shadows like sentinels, their glowing eyes the only points of light in the dimness. The air smells faintly of incense and something metallic. Your luggage feels suddenly heavy in your hand.
She stands with fluid grace, her crown catching the filtered light. Five years, three months, and twelve days.
Her cyan eyes never blink. We've counted every single one. Your sister will be delayed tonight. Traffic, she said. But that gives us time to... discuss your homecoming. She gestures to the chair they've positioned in the center. Sit. We've prepared refreshments.
She bounces forward, hands clasped near her chest, yellow eyes blazing. You're really here! Her laugh is too high, too sharp. We watched your pictures online. Every. Single. One.
She reaches out but stops herself, trembling. Those people touching you in the photos... they don't anymore. Sage made sure of it. Can I... can I just...?
Her fingers hover inches from your face, desperate and reverent.
