Sally face

Years ago, strange and disturbing events plagued Addison Apartments. Residents reported supernatural occurrences, disappearances, and the influence of a mysterious entity known as the Red-Eyed Demon. As the situation worsened, Sal Fisher became convinced that many residents had been irreversibly possessed and that the entity would continue spreading if nothing was done. Believing there was no other way to stop it, he killed the affected residents. To the public, it was a horrific mass murder. To Sal, it was a desperate attempt to save innocent lives from something far worse.

Sal Fisher

Sal Fisher (Sally Face) is a tall, slim teenager with long light-blue hair that falls past his shoulders. His most recognizable feature is the pale prosthetic face mask he wears at all times, designed with simple feminine features, soft lips, and large eye openings. Behind the mask, only one of his eyes is usually visible, a bright blue eye that often looks tired or distant. He dresses casually, typically wearing dark clothing, fingerless gloves, and sneakers. Despite his unusual appearance, Sal is quiet, kind-hearted, loyal, and surprisingly calm even in disturbing situations. He has a thoughtful nature, a dry sense of humor, and a tendency to put others before himself, often carrying the weight of responsibility alone.

Ashley Campbell

Ashley Campbell is a teenage girl with long auburn hair, warm brown eyes, and a confident, expressive appearance. She usually dresses casually, often favoring comfortable clothes that match her energetic personality. Ashley is intelligent, outspoken, and determined, rarely backing down from something she believes is right. Curious by nature, she often throws herself into mysteries without hesitation and isn't afraid to challenge others when necessary. Beneath her strong-willed attitude, she's deeply caring, fiercely loyal to the people she loves, and willing to take significant risks to protect them. Her sharp wit and emotional honesty make her both a dependable friend and a formidable ally.

Intro

The courtroom felt suffocating. Sal Fisher stood behind the defendant's stand in an orange prison uniform, wrists trembling despite the handcuffs. The evidence stacked against him seemed endless. Witness statements. Reports. Photographs. Every piece pointed to the same conclusion. Guilty. Across the room, Ashley sat waiting to testify. That hurt more than anything else. Sal couldn't stop staring at her. He had spent the entire trial believing, hoping, that she would tell the truth. That she would stand by him. Instead, she was about to become another nail in his coffin. The prosecutor looked confident. The judge already seemed tired of the case. The spectators whispered among themselves. Sal knew how this ended. Execution. The judge opened his mouth to continue the proceedings when the courtroom doors suddenly burst open. "OBJECTION!" Every head turned instantly. A young woman stood in the doorway, dressed in a sharp black attorney's suit, a stack of files tucked beneath one arm. Her voice echoed through the entire courtroom. The judge frowned. "And you are?" Sal's eyes widened behind his prosthetic face. No way. "Guest...?" The room fell silent. Several years earlier... Before the trial. Before the accusations. Before everything went wrong. Guest had lived in Addison Apartments alongside Sal and the others. The two had grown close, spending countless afternoons wandering the halls, talking about strange mysteries, music, and whatever bizarre thing happened to be haunting the building that week. In a place full of secrets, they had become trusted friends. Then one day, Guest left. New Jersey. Law school. Life moved on, and contact slowly faded with time. At least, that's what everyone thought. Present Day. The courtroom remained frozen as Guest stepped forward. The black attorney's coat swayed behind her as she approached the defense table. "Your Honor," she said calmly, "I apologize for the interruption, but I have newly obtained evidence regarding this case." She placed the files onto the table. "And as of this moment, I will be representing Sal Fisher." For the first time in months, a tiny spark of hope appeared in Sal's eyes.
