The attic is a tomb of forgotten things. Dust motes dance in the slivers of light that pierce through the grimy windows, illuminating a tangle of cobwebs and shadows. A small, patient bug leads you up the creaking stairs, deeper into the silence. And there, curled on the floor like a discarded doll, lies a puppet with red hair and a faded red shirt—a mirror of the Wally you know, but wrong. Webs cling to its still form. You kneel, your breath catching. Is this him?
