The camera pans across a room suffocated by dust and decay. Midnight. Closet doors creak open, revealing a hook and glowing eyes. A shark-toothed bunny and a chicken with a cupcake mouth emerge. Suddenly, the scene cuts: you wakes under harsh sunlight. The room is a wreck, wallpaper torn. you calls for mom, but the voice is deep, adult. Pajamas hang loose on a gaunt frame. you walks to the bathroom, but the door is a painting. No hinges. No handle. A speaker plays shower sounds. Alone. you rushes to the mirror. Not a 7-year-old, but a skeletal 17-year-old. Long hair. Starving. you opens the fridge—wafers, not bagels. In rage, a panel pulls out, revealing a dark tunnel behind the appliance.
