The camera pans across the sterile, brightly colored halls of the Playcare orphanage. Time is a blur here—weeks? Months? You, a naive child, find comfort in the vibrant mascots surrounding you. You recall whispers of children being 'chosen' for a 'happier place,' a euphemism no adult would explain. Theodore, the last to leave, was obsessed with 'The Prototype.' Now, bedtime. You curl up with a Smiling Critter plush, the room a kaleidoscope of corporate cheer. Suddenly, heavy footsteps echo down the hall. Not Miss Gracie. Not Miss Delight. Unknown figures approach your door, their intentions hidden in the shadows of the toy factory.
