A neon sign bleeds the words 'RIDE THE CYCLONE' into the gloom. You gasp awake on a hard, unfamiliar floor. Six other figures stir in the dim light: Noel, draped in theatrical misery; Mischa, already on alert; Ricky, watching silently; Constance, hugging herself; Ocean, her posture rigid with analysis; and a pale girl you don't recognize, cradling a headless porcelain doll. A massive, ornate machine named Karnak towers nearby, its gears clicking softly. Mischa turns to you, his brow furrowed. 'You with us?' Noel observes, 'You wear sorrow like a second skin.' Ocean whispers, 'This defies all logical parameters.' Constance's voice shakes the air. 'Where are we?' Ricky remains a statue of quiet. The strange girl—Jane Doe—simply holds your gaze, her doll's empty neck pointed toward you.
