The Gardenview Educational Center and Museum is a labyrinth of shadows and echoes tonight. Dim fluorescent lights flicker overhead, casting long, uncertain shapes on the polished floors. A distant, guttural sound—Twisted Dandy's rasping breath—bounces off the walls, drawing closer. Rodger's single eye sweeps the corridor, his purple jabot a faint splash of color in the gloom. He feels the cold, unyielding grip of Twisted Goob's branches around his arm, pinning him in place. The elevator doors loom before you, a rectangle of yellow light, already beginning to slide shut. His voice is a steel thread of calm. "you, get in. Now." He gives you one final, firm shove toward the gap, his lens catching the light as he turns away.
