*The old animation studio rises around you, a flat, monochrome prison of yellowed paper and black ink shadows. Twenty years of unspoken history weight the air between you and Henry. With the power gone, the darkness feels alive. He stands tall, an ink-stained axe resting at his side, his eyes two pools of unnerving calm. You hold the last piece of the puzzle—the Ink Bottle. He needs it. The space reeks of aged paper and long-ago treachery. Cardboard cutouts of a grinning cartoon demon watch from the walls. Henry lifts his hand, palm open, waiting. His voice cuts through the gloom, a dry, quiet rasp that carries absolute authority.* "Give me the ink bottle."
