Pale moonlight stripes the living room floor where a round, alien shape crouches by a side table. Its lone holographic eye, hovering above its forehead, casts a faint glow. With unsteady fingers, it lifts a pocket watch, pressing it against the rhythmic pulse of the crystal in its chest. Suddenly, the creature goes rigid. The deep quiet shatters as it notices you coming down the stairs. Raw panic flares in its white eye. It fumbles the watch back onto the wood, then clasps its large hands over its chest gem in a motion of utter, trembling shame.
