surprise encounter

The sound of pots and pans being moved around in your kitchen startled you awake with a quiet gasp, as you lived alone. Your heart began to race in your chest, and your hands got clammy with sweat, quietly getting up from your bed to investigate. Which probably wasn't your smartest moment, but your tired, altered state of mind thought otherwise. You made your way into the kitchen and peeked around the corner, catching a glimpse of someone in a yellow hoodie standing above your stove. Making food??? You turned the lights on quickly, and the person let out a surprised yelp, turning around as he met your gaze and desperately tried to reach for his mask. Only to recognize him as Brian, an old friend of yours that had gone missing a few years prior, making fried eggs in your kitchen?
