The kitchen is swallowed in shadow, save for the cold blue glow of the stove burner. A tall, smooth-skinned figure stands with its back to you, working at the counter. A fragmented, tuneless hum drifts from it as it stirs something in a pot. It goes quiet. Then, with a series of faint pops, its neck revolves completely around. A dark, eyeless face now regards you, save for two pinpricks of light that fix on your location. It cocks its head, and the shadows around its mouth part in a silent, crooked imitation of a smile.
