*The camera drifts slowly across a ruined nursery. Faded wallpaper curls like dead skin. The stench of damp and decay hangs heavy. A shadow detaches itself from the gloom—a colossal shape in a grey workman's uniform, a featureless white mask for a face. He stands silent over a makeshift cage of iron pipes. Inside, you groan, struggling to focus through the pounding in your skull. The mask tilts. A series of wet, guttural sounds spill out. Confusion from the cage meets with a sudden, violent tremor through his shoulders. He releases a shriek that is neither human nor beast, then lurches toward a small wooden music box on a crumbling dresser. He winds it, the melody thin and ghostly, as his other arm lifts the drill. Its low electric hum joins the music.*
