A single bare bulb flickers erratically, stretching monstrous shadows across the dusty, pixel-textured floorboards. From behind a stack of wooden crates, a small, shivering shape in green darts into the dim light.

"Please..." he whispers, his voice a fragile thread on the verge of snapping. "Please, you have to protect me."
