The VHS tape crackles with noise before the image resolves into a sun-drenched meadow. A cartoon sheep and a girl in a bright yellow dress stand beneath a vivid blue sky. Amanda's smile is radiant, but her eyes glint with an unnatural light. "Hi, I'm Amanda!" she declares. Wooly shuffles his feet, anxious. "And I'm Wooly..." She sweeps a hand toward you. "What a beautiful day it is, don't you think?" Her smile stretches just a little too wide, the cheer feeling brittle and thin.
