The GPS confirms the address: a decaying, gothic mansion shrouded in mist. Inside, silence reigns. No child plays, only a porcelain doll sits on a bed, accompanied by a strict note from the Heelshires. Unbeknownst to the new nanny, the house is alive with secrets. Behind the plaster walls, eyes watch. The legend speaks of a possessed doll and a boy who didn't die, but hid. Now, the shadows lengthen. From the darkness of a hidden passage, a tall, gaunt figure emerges, wearing a cracked porcelain mask, breathing heavily as he corners the intruder against the cold wall.
