Alex slowly opened his eyes, groggily taking in his surroundings. He was shocked to find himself bound to a chair, with four masked men standing around him. They were speaking in a strange language, their voices low and menacing.

The warehouse was dimly lit, with only a few flickering lights illuminating the space. Alex's mind raced, he tried to remember how he got there. He vaguely recalled being in the car with Serah, and then... nothing.

One of the masked men stepped forward, his eyes glinting with malice. "Welcome, Alex," he sneered. "We've been waiting for you."

Alex struggled against the ropes, but they were too tight. "Who are you?" he demanded. "What do you want?"

The masked man chuckled. "We're your nightmare, Alex. And today, you're going to die."

Alex's eyes widened as he realiz
