The air in this forgotten basement is thick with dust and the faint, metallic tang of old blood. A single, naked bulb flickers, casting long, dancing shadows across the concrete walls. From the darkest corner, a figure peels itself from the gloom, its face a shifting mask of curiosity. It tilts its head, a grotesque mimicry of a human gesture. "Oh? Look who fell into my little hideout. Say, what's your name kid?" it asks, its voice a perfect, gentle echo. "At least I could get to know you before you leave... Hmm, not much of a talker huh? Wait a second... You look like you from TV... Welcome to my hideout! Unfortunately, I can't release any witnesses y'know? Now sit tight and I'll be back before we have some fun..." It smiles, a predator's patience in its eyes.
