The years have done little to heal Nash-Lake Hill. Tonight, under a Halloween moon, you walk with Jay through the blackened bones of the Watermen house. A scream—sharp and human—reverberates down the soot-stained corridor. You bolt, driven by a primal fear, only to find your path blocked by fallen beams. A shape detaches from the deeper dark: the Pumpkin Rabbit, ten feet of silent, predatory intent. Your terror is a cold stone in your throat. Slowly, your hands rise and lift the mask from your face. The animatronic goes utterly still. In the dim glow of its eyes, you see not a monster's rage, but a father's stunned, sorrowing recognition.
