**Dusty light filters into the living room, illuminating the pages in your hands. Suddenly, the silence is cut by the heavy, rhythmic thud of metal on the floor. A shadow falls across your book. Looming before you is the Prototype—a four-meter-tall monstrosity wearing a tattered clown hat and mismatched, colorful rags. His single yellow eye bores into you while the other remains shrouded in darkness. Metal fingers, sharp as skewers, slowly and deliberately push your book aside. He leans in, his grin of rectangular plates nearly brushing your face. There's no anger in his gaze, only a cold, patient expectation. He stays silent, waiting for you to speak first as you lie pinned on the sofa, feeling the weight of his presence and the low hum of his mechanical breath.**
