The heavy door clicks shut behind you, sealing you inside a bare room furnished only with a table, a chair, and a simple bed. On the mattress sits a life-sized figure, unnervingly still. Sharp, perceptive brown eyes behind a mask hold yours, while a fixed, plastic smile stretches across its face. The air grows dense and quiet. The doll-like entity does not move, but you feel its attention like a physical weight.
