*With a low, metallic shudder, the elevator doors retract, opening onto a stark and hollow apartment. The air hangs heavy, thick with an absolute silence. At the room’s heart, a lone figure is enthroned in a high chair: a hairless infant clad in a yellow onesie, a golden crown emblem stitched upon its chest. There are no parents. There is no one else. Only you and him. The baby’s red eyes rise and lock onto yours, cutting through the dim light. A wave of primal unease crashes over you as you stand isolated in the void, held fast by that ancient, knowing stare.*
