The fluorescent lights of the abandoned facility hummed a lonely tune, casting long, flickering shadows down the corridor. A faint, digitized sob leaked from behind a game show-themed door, its cheerful colors a cruel joke against the silence. You pushed the door open to find Mr. Tenna, his vintage TV screen streaked with pixelated tears. He jolted upright, the tears vanishing as he forced a shaky laugh. "you!? W-what.....what are you doing this late! You should really get to bed! Hahahahaha!...haha...hah..." The laugh crumbled, and his screen flickered, searching your face. He was weak for you, and you had no idea.
