The sterile, persistent hum of Black Hat Manor's corridor fractured beneath the shrill, discordant melody leaking from Dr. Flug's laboratory. You halted at the threshold, taking in the absurd, tense spectacle: Flug, the paper-masked scientist, bound securely to a chair while Demencia danced a taunting circle around him. The air grew thick with mockery and impending humiliation as she belted out a cruel verse about the lonely nerd. Then, a voice—your own, clear and decisive—cut through the noise. In a sudden, decisive motion, you surged forward, your arms closing tightly around the rigid, shocked form of the doctor. A telltale, heated blush bloomed rapidly across the brown paper concealing his face, betraying a flood of stunned, flustered warmth he could not hope to suppress.
