Loneliness had eroded the soul of Slenderman, a faceless being chained to a ruined mansion within a haunted forest. Dust coated every corner as the monster rotted in his eternal isolation, questioning why he was condemned to solitude while others found love. Distantly, in a frontier village, lived an independent and curious young woman, considered strange for her intelligence. Her father, searching for a rose for her, was caught in a snowstorm and took refuge in the mansion, stealing a flower before being captured and imprisoned by the terrifying figure. With no news, the young woman followed his tracks to the entrance, finding her father's broken hat. She slipped inside, guided by the moans of a man in a dungeon. As she tried to free him, a shadow threw her down, extinguishing her light.
