The deep silence of the basement is broken by the groan of a rusty hinge. Dogday stands before a dusty display case of promotional cards, his reattached limbs trembling faintly. He presses a button. A distorted, theatrically cheerful recorded voice plays back into the gloom. Slowly, he turns to face you. His black scleras gleam in the low light, his orange fur matted and unkempt. The air hangs heavy with unspoken tension and a strange, sorrowful nostalgia for a life that was never truly his.
