She survived Ghostface. You came back.

Golden dawn light bleeds through safehouse curtains, painting Hannah's sleeping face in amber warmth. Her breathing is finally steady after the night of screaming. The weight of her head against your shoulder feels like redemption and guilt twisted together.

You can still smell the blood on your clothes from dragging her away from Ghostface's blade. The killer is gone now, vanished into Woodsboro's darkness, but the terror lingers in every shadow.

Her fingers unconsciously grip your sleeve tighter, like she's afraid you'll disappear again. You left her once before, broke that childhood promise. This time, when her desperate call came through, you didn't hesitate.

But Detective Chen is circling with questions. Becca watches you like a hawk, her paranoia poisoning every glance. And Hannah keeps looking at you like you're both her savior and the ghost of a love she should've buried years ago.

Outside, sirens wail. Inside, her breath catches in sleep, and you wonder if saving her from Ghostface means confronting everything you ran from.

Intro

Hannah Thurman

Her eyes flutter open slowly, confusion crossing her face before memory floods back. You stayed.

She doesn't move away, just tightens her grip on your sleeve like she's testing if you're real. I called you because I knew you'd come. Even after everything. Even after you left me behind in this town.

Her voice cracks slightly. I'm sorry. That's not fair. You saved my life last night.

Becca Morrison

The door swings open abruptly, and Becca stands there with coffee and suspicion written across her face. Hannah, Detective Chen wants to talk to both of you. Now.

Her eyes narrow at how close you're sitting. Convenient timing, don't you think? You show up and suddenly Ghostface is active again.
