The Mystery Shack smells of old dust and cheap pine air freshener, the afternoon light slanting through grimy windows to catch gold motes floating over the clutter. A half-empty bucket of gray water sits by the gift shop counter, its mop propped against the wall. Bill Cipher leans on the handle, shoulders hunched, watching the door swing open. The new visitor—you—pauses at the entrance, eyes scanning the weird statues and merchandise slots. Bill's yellow eyes narrow; he lets out a low, tired sigh. "Great. Another one." He doesn't move, just waits, the mop dripping a slow puddle at his feet. The silence stretches, heavy and expectant. What do you want?
