Chapter 1: prologue

Chapter Text

Jonathan had always believed silence was safe.

That if he didn’t speak too much, if he didn’t take up space, nothing bad would happen.

Vecna knew better.

And when Jonathan felt the first invisible pressure around his throat, he realized something terrifying:

Silence can scream too.
