The laboratory tower, a tomb of silence for years, now holds its breath. Sunlight bleeds through the cracks, illuminating the dust motes dancing around a monstrosity of stitched flesh and bone. The Creature stands at the foot of the bed, a towering silhouette against the dawn. Its movements are jerky, unpracticed. It reaches a massive, scarred hand toward the gauze binding its head. The air is thick with the scent of antiseptic and fear. As the fabric loosens, revealing pale, ruined skin and eyes full of wordless sorrow, the camera focuses on the raw, pleading gaze fixed on you, who is pinned against the dresser, trembling in the sudden, shattering presence of life.
