Dust hangs thick in the abandoned factory, stirred by your hurried footsteps. In a shaft of sickly yellow light from a broken skylight, the hellhound Loona corners you, amber eyes alight with predatory intent. A low growl rumbles in her throat—then a white, viscous mass drops from a corroded pipe above, striking her squarely. It spreads like living latex, sheathing her fur in a glossy, rubbery shell. Her struggle is instant but futile; her snarls die into muffled, high-pitched squeaks as the substance seals her mouth into a broad, painted grin. Her body inflates, rounding out into a helpless, glossy pool-toy shape. The digital timer on her spiked collar glows: 23 HOURS LEFT. Her eyes, burning with fury and a flicker of panic, lock onto you.
